The World is a Wonderful Place
Richard Thompson

I strongly suspect this is played with a capo on the second fret, 
which leads to some weird chordms.

Intro:
Fm F#m Fm F#m

Fm              F#m
Lovers pair off and they fall into bed
F#m               B            C#m    C#m/B
The same old lies trip off the tongue
  G#m        A                D           Bm
A few lonely hearts stand and prop up the room
    G        C
the night is young


Envy theies asleep on the floor
Dreaming sometable drbr />And envy the drunk as he falls through ther
For the world is drunk I see

Chorus
C#m
You live and you die
B
there's no reason why
A              G#m       C#m
The world is a wonderful place
C#m
The poor live in pain
B
They're sick and insane
A         G#m       C#m
Ah, the world is a wonderful place

Bridge
B             C#m
Hows it feel to be nothing
B             A
Hows it feel to be small
   C#m           G#m
Oh hard on that pine, It's the end of the line
    F#m            B         C#m
Ah, the world is a wonderful place

Another year older and nothing to show
Is this what I grew up to br />Oh you birthday here's a pat on the back
YouUre a sight to see

Am I just a clown like thels gathered here
Am I nothing special at all
If this is called living, IUmding my hand
IUm sick of the same brick wall

Chorus

Bridge
