Intro - Part three (also chorus...roughly)
Add in picked notes after playing the full G and F#m chords - am unable to work out the
notes, due to stupidity.

Lyrics and chords:
B G A F#
Life's incomplete - out on the streets
G F#
Live in a doom town
Nothing'll ever change - remains the same
Live in a doom town
Doom town
People's blank stares - nobody cares
Live in a doom town
You can never win - living innocent
Live in a doom town
