[Verse 1]
Bm/E
Sometimes you're better off dead
Bm/E
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
Am7
You think you're mad, too unstable
Am7
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
Bm/E
In a restaurant in a West End town
Bm/E
Call the police, there's a madman around
Am7
Running down underground
Am7
To a dive bar in a West End town
[Chorus]
Bm
In a West End town, a dead end world
Am7
The East End boys and West End girls
Bm
In a West End town, a dead end world

[Verse 2]
Bm/E
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Bm/E
Faces on posters, too many choices
Am7
If, when, why, what?
Am7
How much have you got?
Bm/E
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
Bm/E
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
Am7
(How much do you need?)
[Chorus]
Bm
In a West End town, a dead end world
Am7
The East End boys and West End girls

In a West End town, a dead end world

[Verse]
Bm/E
You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Bm/E
Just you wait 'til I get you home
Am7
We've got no future, we've got no past
Am7
Here today, built to last
Bm/E
In every city, in every nation
Bm/E
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
Am7
(How far have you been?)
[Chorus]
Bm
In a West End town, a dead end world
Am7
The East End boys and West End girls
Bm
In a West End town, a dead end world
Am7
East End boys, West End girls
