Paolo Nutini - These Streets  (Official Acoustic) chords
Start Jamming...
This next song is about when I moved [B] from Paisley to London.
It's just [D] about the change and [A] the big difference between them both.
So it's called These Streets.
Here we go.
[D] [F#]
[G] [A]
[Em] [D] Across the [F#m] far sea, [G] into [A] the safe, far world,
where I [D] teach you about an hour just [F#m] to cross the road,
[D] just [G] to stumble across [A] another cold soul.
From [D] the dreary old lanes [F#m] to the high street madness,
[G] I fight with my brain to [A] believe my eyes.
And [D] it's harder than you think,
[F#m] even in the sadness [G] that creeps up my spine and [A] haunts me.
Through the night, [B] life is good, and the girls are gorgeous.
[G] Suddenly the air smells much greener now,
[Bm] and I'm wandering [A] around with [B] a half-pack of cigarettes,
[A] searching for the change that I've lost somehow.
[D] These streets have too [F#] many names for me.
[G] I'm used to Glenfield Road and [A] spending my time down in [D] Northgate.
I'll get used to [F#m] this eventually.
[G] I know, I [A]
know, [D] where [F#m] did things go [G] when all [A] we did was play?
And [D] the stress that we were under [F#m] was the stress I owe.
[G] Just a run and a jump [A] into a harmless fall from
[D] walking by a high-rise [F#] to a landmark square.
[G] You see millions of people [A] with millions of cares,
and [D] I struggle to the chain to [F#m] make my way home.
[G] I look at these people as [A] they sit there alone.
[B] Life is good, and the sun is shining.
[G] Everybody floods to their ideal place,
and [B] the children all smile.
There's a boat shuffled by them,
[A] trying to pretend that they've got some space.
[D] These streets have too [F#m] many names for me.
[G] I'm used to Glenfield Road and [A] spending my time down in [D] Northgate.
I'll get used [F#] to this eventually.
[G] I know, I [A]
know.
[G] These [D] streets have too [F#m] many names for me.
[G] I'm used to Glenfield Road [A] and spending my time down in [D] Northgate.
I'll get used to this [F#m] eventually.
[G] I know, I [A] know.
Life [B] is good, and the girls are cold.
[G] Suddenly the air smells much greener now.
[B] And I'm wandering around with a half-pack [A] of cigarettes,
searching for the change that I've lost somehow.
These [D] streets have too [F#] many names for me.
[G] I'm used to Glenfield Road and [A] spending my time down in [D] Northgate.
I'll get used to this [F#m] eventually.
[G] I know, [A] I know.
[D] These streets have too many [F#] names for me.
[G] I'm used to Glenfield Road and [A] spending my time down [G] in [D] Northgate.
I'll get used to [F#] this eventually.
[G] I know, I [A] know.
You keep telling me [D] so.
