These Streets by Paolo Nutini

[C]            [Em] [F]       [G] 
Cross the border, into the big bad world
[C]                                      [Em]
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road,
        [F]                    [G] 
Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
[C]                              Em]
From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
[F]                        [G]
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
    [C]                           [Em]
And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness, 
   [F]                              [G]
It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night

[Am7] 
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[F] 
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[Am7] 
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
[G] 
Searching for the change I've lost somehow

[C]                 [Em]    
These Streets, have too many names for me
[F]                                     [G] 
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
[C]                   [Em]        [F]     [G]
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

[C]         [Em]   [F]                 [G]
Where'd the days go when all we did was lay
[C]                                      [Em]
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
[F]                          [G]
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
[C]                              [Em]
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square,
        [F]                     [G]
You see millions of people with millions of cares
[C]                                [Em]
And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
[F]                          [G]
I look at the people as they sit there alone

[Am7] 
Life is good and the sun is shining,
[F]
Everybody floats to their ideal place
[Am7] 
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
[G]
Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
