Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Get  straight and wait  here while I  try to find the exit sign
When  will you stop  asking strangers,  no one wants what we want
Keep  one eye on the  door, keep one eye on the  bag
 Never expect to be sure
You're  working for the police and the private, the  pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted  waiting for the train
 doctor,  writer,  hairdresser,
Felt  up and fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord  lord mother you're all losing love
Lord  listen lover you're all missing  mama
Lord  lord mother you're all losing love
Lord  listen lover you're all missing something  (I don't got)
 There's a place that ends here I know
 When they close the gates I'll cry
 So tired of never sleeping
 The whole world wants what we're on
 Didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend
 My friend is coming clean, she told me
 Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed
 Never expect to be sure who you're working for
 You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
 Fingerprinted waiting for the train
 a doctor, a writer, a garbage collector
 Fingerprinted waiting for the train
 Lord lord mother you're all losing love
 Lord listen lover you're all missing mama
 Lord lord mother you're all losing love
 Lord listen lover you're all missing love
 Got to get out
 Got to get to you, the orphanage is closing in an hour
