Verse 1
F Stevie said now don't look round they're w G atching us
Two g F irls in the corner of that G dodgy club
And the F grey eyes, the storm that I've G come to know and wish for
F Before I caught a breath
Well she was s G tanding there
We F walked the streets of our town just G talking
And the F dawn broke grey and freezing through the F deserted blocks
Just F when your life is stale and there's G reason there for everything
F Something comes to kick you up G inside
Cborus
E Dm leven sweet C years and no G nearer home
A Dm hundred thousands C miles through this G battle zone
Still Dm high on the C wire G above the hollow G darkness
Trying F not to look F 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
Cborus
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...
Special
So Bb rest
C In these open arms and Bb cry
C Until they come for you Bb and tell
Dm And tell me everything that you've C ever felt
C Tell me everything you G want to see
Bridge

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
Cborus
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...
