Paolo Nutini – These Streets (Ukulele)

 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.

 D                   F#m
