These Streets Paolo Nutini
[D] [F#m] [G] [A]
Cross the border, into the big bad world
[D] [F#m]
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road,
[G] [A]
Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
[D] [F#m]
From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
[G] [A]
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
[D] [F#m]
And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness,
[G] [A]
It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
[Bm7]
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[G]
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[Bm7]
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
[A]
Searching for the change I've lost somehow
[D] [F#m]
These Streets, have too many names for me
[G] [A]
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
[D] [F#m] [G] [A]
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
[D] [F#m] [G] [A]
Where'd the days go when all we did was lay
[D] [F#m]
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
[G] [A]
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
[D] [F#m]
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square,
[G] [A]
You see millions of people with millions of cares
[D] [F#m]
And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
[G] [A]
I look at the people as they sit there alone
[Bm7]
Life is good and the sun is shining,
[G]
Everybody floats to their ideal place
[Bm7]
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
[A]
Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
