A E
Fox in the snow where do you go
F#m
To find something you could eat?
DMaj7 E
'Cause the word out on the street is you are starving
A
Don't let yourself grow hungry now
C#/G# F#m
Don't let yourself grow cold
DMaj7 - A - DMaj7 - A
Fox in the snow
Girl in the snow, where do you go
To find someone who will do?
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you
A
Listen to your crazy laugh
C#/G# F#m
Before you hang a right
DMaj7 - A
And disappear from sight
DMaj7 A
What do they know anyway?
DMaj7
You'll read it in a book
A
What do they know anyway?
C#m B - DMaj7
You'll read it in a book tonight
A E
Boy on the bike what are you like
F#m
As you cycle round the town?
DMaj7
You're going up you're going down
E
You're going nowhere
A
It's not as if they're paying you
C#/G# F#m
It's not as if it's fun
DMaj7 - A
At least not anymore
DMaj7 A
When your legs are black and blue
DMaj7
It's time to take a break
A
When your legs are black and blue
It's time to take a holiday

Second to dying too
