Chords for Paul Weller Live (2002) - A Man Of Great Promise

_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [F#m] I bought the paper _ [Bm] yesterday, _ _ [E] sold the _ [A] _
obituary,
_ [F#m] read about your dying [Bm] _
page, [E] but just couldn't _ [A] understand it.
_ [F#m] Yeah, I pulled [Bm] the chains out, [E] but Lord, what's I doing [A] now?
[C#m] _ [F#m] There is no [Bm] going back, [E] or a start that [A] stops forever.
_ Yeah, _ _ [D] _
but you were always chained there, [A] _ _
shackled [E] by the love
_ [G#] of every small town _ institution [F#m] _ [C#]
and every big town club.
[F#m] And _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [C#m] _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#m] I think of what you might [Bm] have been, [E] a man of such [A] great [C#m] promise,
_ [F#m] chasing to forget [Bm] the dreams.
[E] The more you saw, [A] you hated, [C#m] _ [F#m] so let's not talk [Bm] of blame.
_ [E] What is only [A] _ natural, [F#m] like a moth going to [Bm] a flame,
_ [E] and a _ [A] dangerous passion.
_ Yeah, _ [D] yeah, you were always chained there, [F#m] _ _ shackled [E] by the love
_ [Bm] of every small town _ institution [F#] [C#] and every big [A] town club.
_ [C#m] _ [F#m] Yeah, all the things [Bm] that you might have been, [E] but who am I [A] to say?
[C#m] Still [F#m] I wonder, [Bm] if it's hand or quarter, [E] you prefer [A] to blame.
[C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ If [Bm] it's hand or quarter, [E] you prefer [A] to blame.
[C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
