In all the time
You entertain me
I broke my heart
I can recall
Till I threw the dice
And I kept my distance
From the Shankill
And the Falls
[G]Sha la la la la la la la

Em f# g G D
I know you're aching
To trust somebody
A spark of love
In everyone
From the Tigras Bay
To the silent barrio
From the Shankill
To the Falls
