Paolo Nutini - These Streets - Acoustic - chords and lyrics

This is a nice little number I enjoy playing from time to time - tho my Scottish accent when singing is a bit of a joke...
Nice easy chords to jam to

These Streets – Paolo Nutini

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 soul

D                                             F#m

From the dreary old lanes to the High Street 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 wondering 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 play

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 struggle to the train to make my way home

G                                          A

I look at these 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   

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   

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

Bm7

Life is good and the girls are gorgeous

G

Suddenly the air smells much greener now

Bm7

And I'm wondering 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   

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

You keep telling me so
