Paolo Nutini - These Streets: chords

  D        F#m   G         A7
Cross the border, into the big bad world
          D                               F#m
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross
the road,
          G                     A7
Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
           D                     F#m
From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
   G                        A7
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
          D                         F#m
And it's harder than you think to believe
this sadness,
     G                             A7
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
  A7
Searching for the change I've lost somehow

Chorus:
         D                   F#m
These Streets, have too many names for me
    G                                   A7
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time
down in Orchy
D                      F#m           G       A7
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

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

Life is good and the sun is shining
Everybody flirts to their ideal place
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled
by them
Trying to pretend that they've got some space

Chorus - x2

Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm wondering around with the half pack of
cigarettes
Searching for the change that I've lost somehow

Chorus - x2

I know
I know
'Cause you keep telling me so
