...FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE... by Manic Street Preachers
---------------------------..........................
*from 'Gold Against the Soul' (1993)*
Verse 1:
I write this alone on my bed; I've poisoned every room in the house.
The place is quiet and so a-lone,
Pretend there's something worth waiting for.
There's nothing nice in my head; the adult world took it all a-way.
(G)
I wake up with same spit in my mouth; I cannot tell if it's real, or not.
Chorus 1:
I try and walk in a straight line.
An imi-tation of digni-ty.
C,
From despair to where?
C, (G)
From despair to where?
Interlude:
G Am7, C G (x2)
Verse 2:
Out-side open mouthed crowds, pass each other, as if they're drugged.
Down pale corridors of rou-tine, where life falls una-toned.
The weak kick like straw, 'till the world means less and less.
(G)
Words are never e-nough; just cheap tarnished glit-ter.
Chorus 2:
I try and walk in a straight line.
An imi-tation of digni-ty.
C,
From despair to where?
C,
From despair to...
Bridge 1:
A, G,

Em Eb5 D5 A, C G, B (x2)
Chorus 3:
A cripple walks in a straight line.
An imi-tation of digni-ty.
C,
From despair to where?
C,
From despair to where?
