Intro
|: F G :|
Verse 1
FG
Stevie said now don't look round they're watching us
FG
Two girls in the corner of that dodgy club
FG
And the grey eyes, the storm that I've come to know and wish for
F
Before I caught a breath
G
Well she was standing there
FG
We walked the streets of our town just talking
FF
And the dawn broke grey and freezing through the deserted blocks
FG
Just when your life is stale and there's reason there for everything
FG
Something comes to kick you up inside
Chorus
DmCG
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home
DmCG
A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone
DmCGG
Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness
FF
Trying not to look down...
Verse 2
No Rest for the wicked is still how it goes
Twisted up and turning my bed alone
And separation pains like a blunted amputation
Pushing endless coms in the telephone
Chorus
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...
Special
Bb
So rest
CBb
In these open arms and cry
CBb
Until they come for you and tell
DmC
And tell me everything that you've ever felt
CG
Tell me everything you want to see
Bridge
|: F G :|
Verse 3
Forever running even when we are standing still
Driven on and fired up as the whirlwinds blow
And shouting out inside
I'm proud of you, I'm proud of you
Ten thousand footsteps echo down the Brixton Road
Chorus
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...
