Paolo Nutini - These Streets

 D0              F#m1   G2         A3
0Cross the border, into the big bad world
 D4                                        F#m5
1Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road,
         G6                      A7
2Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
 D8                               F#m9
3From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
 G10                          A11
4I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
     D12                             F#m13
5And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness,
    G14                                A15
6It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night

9Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
 G17
10Suddenly the air smells much greener now
 Bm718
11And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
 A19
12Searching for the change I've lost somehow

15These Streets, have too many names for me
 G22                                       A23
16I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
 D24                     F#m25          G26       A27
17I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

 D28           F#m29     G30                   A31
20Where'd the days go when all we did was lay
 D32                                        F#m33
21And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
 G34                            A35
22Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
 D36                                F#m37
23From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square,
         G38                       A39
24You see millions of people with millions of cares
 D40                                  F#m41
25And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
 G42                            A43
26I look at the people as they sit there alone

 Bm744
29Life is good and the sun is shining,
 G45
30Everybody floats to their ideal place
 Bm746
31And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
 A47
32Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
