F5 A5 G5
Stevie said now don't look round they're watching us
F5 A5 G5
Two girls in the corner of that dodgy club
F5 A5 G5
And the grey eyes, the storm that I've come to know and wish for
F5 A5 G5
Before I caught a breath Well she was standing there
F5 A5 G5
We walked the streets of our town just talking
F5 A5 G5
And the dawn broke grey and freezing through the deserted blocks
F5 A5 G5
Just when your life is stale and there's reason there for everything
F5 A5 G5
Something comes to kick you up inside
Chorus:
D5 C5 G5
Eleven sweet years and no nearer home
D5 C5 G5
A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone
D5 C5 G5 G5
Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness
F5 F5
Trying not to look down...
F5 A5 G5
No Rest for the wicked is still how it goes
F5 A5 G5
Twisted up and turning my bed alone
F5 A5 G5
And separation pains like a blunted amputation
F5 A5 G5
Pushing endless coins in the telephone
Bb5 C5 Bb5
So rest in these open arms and cry
C5 Bb5
Until they come for you and tell
D5 C5
And tell me everything that you've ever felt
C5 G5
Tell me everything you want to see
F5 A5 G5
Forever running even when we are standing still
F5 A5 G5
Driven on and fired up as the whirlwinds blow
F5 A5 G5 G5
And shouting out inside I'm proud of you, I'm proud of you
F5 A5 G5
Ten thousand footsteps echo down the Brixton Road
