Intro
F G
[Verse 1]
F G
Stevie said now don't look round they're watching us
F G
Two girls in the corner of that dodgy club
F G
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
F G
We walked the streets of our town just talking
F F
And the dawn broke grey and freezing through the deserted blocks
F G
Just when your life is stale and there's reason there for everything
F G
Something comes to kick you up inside
Chorus
Dm C G
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home
Dm C G
A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone
Dm C G G
Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness
F F
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
C Bb
In these open arms and cry
C Bb
Until they come for you and tell
Dm C
And tell me everything that you've ever felt
C G
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...
