"Town Without Pity" by Gene Pitney

Verse 1

 Bm
 When youre young and so in love as we
 Em
 And bewildered by the world we see
 F#m7-5C B7
 Why do people hurt us so
 Em7 Em7-5G
 Only those in love would know
 DA A+ G6 C#7-5 F#7sus4 F#7+5-9
 
 What a town without pity can do

Verse 2

 If we stop to gaze upon a star
 People talk about how bad we are
 Ours is not an easy age
 Were like tigers in a cage
 A13 A7+5 A7 A13 D Am7E D7F#
 What a town without pity can do

Bridge

 G G6D Gmaj7 G6D
 The young have problems, many problems
 G Bm7-5 F E7sus4 E7
 We need an understanding heart
 A A6E Amaj7 F#m
 Why dont they help us, try and help us
 Bm E A F#7+5-9
 Before this clay and granite planet falls apart

Verse 3

 Take these eager lips and hold me fast
 Im afraid this kind of joy cant last
 How can we keep love alive
 How can anything survive
 DA A+ G6 C#7-5 F#7sus4 F#7
 When these little minds tear you in two
 Gmaj7 A7 D G7+5
 What a town without pity can do
