[Verse 1]
 
 Am                        C   G
There's a crack up in the ceiling
 Dm                       F  Am
And the kitchen sink is leaking
 Am                     C  G
Out of work and got no money
 Dm                          F Am
A Sunday joint of bread and honey
 Am                    G F                              E7
What are we living for?   Two roomed apartment on the second floor?
 Am                G F                               E7
No money comin' in,   the rent collector's knockin' trying to get in
A                                 Dm          E
We are strictly second class, we don't understand
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 F             E                Am        G
Dead end! Why we should be in dead end street
 F           E                   Am       G
Dead end! People are livin' in dead end street
 F              E            Am        G
Dead end! I'm gonna die in dead end street
 C          F             C        F
Dead end street (yeah!) Dead end street (yeah!)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 Am                     C G
On a cold and frosty morning
 Dm                       F  Am
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning
 Am                      C G
And my feet are nearly frozen
 Dm                        F    Am
Boil the tea and put some toast on
 Am                    G F                              E7
What are we livin' for?   Two roomed apartment on the second floor?
 Am                  G F                                E7
No chance to emigrate,   I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late
 A                                Dm              E
We both have to work so hard, we can't get the chance
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 F           E            Am         G
Dead end! People live on dead end street
 F           E                 Am         G
Dead end! People are dyin' on dead end street
 F             E             Am        G
Dead end! I'm gonna die on dead end street
 C          F            C           F
Dead end street (yeah!) Dead end street (yeah!)
