"Street by Street" - Laufey [Intro]
Dm7       G7           Cmaj7          Am7
This view used to bring   a smile to my face

Dm7               G7        Cmaj7                 Am9
Lately, it's done nothing but    remind  me of the way
[Verse 1]
Dm7                  G7  Cmaj7             A7  A7(b13)
The way that you used to    give me butterflies

Dm7                    G7          Cmaj7       A7 A7(b13)
Took me twenty-one days to walk our former paradise

Dm7                    Fm7
Paradise, bu-bu-bu-day duh
[Chorus]
Cmaj7          A7(b13)  A7       Dm7                G7
Step by step, brick by brick I'm reclaiming what's mine

Cmaj7               A7(b13)   A7   Dm7              Fm9  Fm7
This city is way too small to give away to just one guy

Cmaj7               A7(b13)  A7             Dm7             Bb13
Street by street, breath by breath from the Back Bay to the sky

    Cmaj7         A7(b13) A7
I'm taking back my city

    Dm7 G7          C6
I'm taking back my life
[Verse 2]
Dm7      G13 G7
The cafe

Cmaj7                 Am7 A7(b13)
where you asked me for my name

Dm7               G7               Cmaj7               Am7 A7(b13)
The bookstore we spent five hours, hiding from the rain

Dm7
It's like a game of monopoly except

 G7
I steal back all my property

   Cmaj7               A7 A7(b13)
And leave you on the ground

Dm7
And I know that I'll see you one day on the street

G7
With a girl on your arm but I won't let that

Cmaj7             A7 A7(b13)
Keep me from this town

Dm7
From this town

Fm7
From this town, oh
[Chorus]
Cmaj7          A7(b13)  A7      Dm7                G7
Step by step, brick by brick I'm reclaiming what's mine

Cmaj7                A7(b13)  A7      Dm7           Fm9 F7
This city is way too small to give away to just one guy

Cmaj7             A7(b13)    A7             Dm7             Bb13
Street by street, breath by breath from the Back Bay to the sky

Cmaj7             A7(b13)  A7
I'm taking back my city

Dm7        G7      Cmaj7  C#dim7
I'm taking back my life

Dm7               F7sus2       C6
I'm taking back my city...
Notes: -There is not a single "basic" chord shape in this song. Dm7, Cmaj7, Am7, etc--it's all their barre chord versions. So, Am7: 5x555x; Cmaj7: x35453; Dm7: x57565; and so forth. But if you're crazy fast, go ahead and try doing the basic chords with this song HAHA -You'll notice that some parts start from Am7 instead of A7, or that the A7(b13) comes before or after the A7/Am7. I added that there so this tab will be as close as possible to the original But you shouldn't worry about that too much. The difference is very minor (no pun intended). Thanks for viewing! This song was really fun to figure out as someone who just started using my ears hahaha I wanted to make this tab because the chords that Laufey released were really odd in some parts. I thought it was my issue at first, but I realised she just made a few mistakes haha (Her released chords if you wanna see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mve2yqnoz7lh9i8/street-chords.png?dl=0 ) I tried my best to correct it haha If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to message me/comment. :)
