Chords

[Intro] C Em C Em C [Verse 1]
Em                       C
   The streets I used to walk on

Em                   C
  Are full of broken glass

Em                   C
  And everywhere I'm looking

        Em             C
There's memories of my past

Em           C
  The filthy flat in Fulham

Em                     C
  The smell of sex and gas

  Em          C
I never, ever really knew

      Em             C
Where I was sleeping next
[Chorus]
         G
When the whole wide world's against you

           D/F#
And you're standing in the rain

     Em
When all your friends have let you down

    C
And treat you with disdain

         G
When the whole wide world's against you

           D/F#
And life's got you on the run

        Em
And you think the party's over

         C                      Em  C Em C
But it's only just, only just begun
[Verse 2]
Em                   C
  Behind the bars of prison

Em                     C
  You're never getting out

           Em                       C
They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls

        Em         C
And the guards are lardy louts

Em                     C
  The cameras that are watching you

     Em           C
They see a sullen face

       Em                          C
Get me out the door, can't keep me in no more

    Em                C
I'm breaking down the gates
[Chorus]
         G
When the whole wide world's against you

           D/F#
And you're standing in the rain

        Em
And you want someone beside you

   C
To pull you up again

         G
When the whole wide world's against you

           D/F#
And life's got you on the run

        Em
And you think the party's over

         C                      Em  C
But it's only just, only just begun
[Instrumental] Em C Em C Em C Em C Em C Em C Em C [Bridge]
          G
Well, the dreary streets of London

     D/F#
They never promised much

  Em
A dead-end job to nowhere

    C
And all your dreams are crushed
[Chorus]
         G
When the whole wide world's against you

           D/F#
And you're standing in the rain

     Em
When all your friends have let you down

    C
And treat you with disdain

        G
And you think the party's over

         D/F#
But it's only just begun

      Em
Let's raise a glass, get up and dance

       C                                     Em  C
'Cause life's just hit and, hit and, hit and run
[Outro]
        Em C      Em
Hit and run, yeah

C                 Em C Em C
 The party's over

Em   C Em C
  Ayy

Em C                   Em
   World’s against you
