Cheard the family Cmaj7say as they 
Dwaved the hearse awaDsus4y

And toGnight I'm getting young drunk 
  CWalking down the streets where I grew 
Emup. Knowing that they're to

   GAnd all alDone in the suburbs
   EmI can maDke as much noise as I 
Cwant without disturCmaj7bing more than the 
Dwind in the trDsus4ees and
GPassing cars and secuDrity lights 
EmGuide my way home thrDough the night and it feels
   Csafe here Cmaj7  
  DAnd the neighbours aren't Dsus4close enough to 
Chate me Cmaj7  D  Dsus4

In a haCndful of people I was lucky enough to

we're in lDove with it Dsus4  
And GI'm in love with you 
And our Ctiny bed in the upstairs front room 
Of a Emrundown terrace house 
Which is Dobviously perfect as it sounds Dsus4  
[Bridge]
GEven in the sDummer
When the cEmardboard window tDhat you tape on

[Intro]

G D Em D C D G

[Verse 1]

G D

One day there will come a time when the

Em D

person you are named after

C D G

dies and all of a sudden you're the only one left

G D

And out of something as insincere as pride

Em D

You'll change the way you turned on

C Cmaj7

time to remember the smiles

D Dsus4

As we stood out front of the

G D

little church

Em D

The traffic just close enough to

C Cmaj7

drown out Whatever we

C Cmaj7

heard the family say as they

D Dsus4

waved the hearse away

[Chorus]

And tonight I'm getting young drunk

Walking down the streets where I grew

up. Knowing that they're to

C D

blame it All the red brick fences look the

same. I'm getting young drunk

Walking round the streets where I grew

up. Knowing that they're to

C D

blame it. All the red brick fences look the

G C Em C D

same.

[Verse 2]

G D

And all alone in the suburbs

Em D

I can make as much noise as I

C Cmaj7

want without disturbing more than the

D Dsus4

wind in the trees and

G D

Passing cars and security lights

Em D

Guide my way home through the night and it feels

C Cmaj7

safe here

D Dsus4

And the neighbours aren't close enough to

C Cmaj7 D Dsus4

hate me

[Chorus]

And tonight I'm getting young drunk

Walking down the streets where I grew

up. Knowing that they're to

C D

blame it All the red brick fences look the

same. I'm getting young drunk

Walking round the streets where I grew

up. Knowing that they're to

C D

blame it. All the red brick fences look the

G C Em C D

same.

G C C Em Em D Dsus4

[Verse 3]

And I've finally found a home

In a handful of people I was lucky enough to

bump into We act like pessimists but

D Dsus4

we're in love with it

And I'm in love with you

And our tiny bed in the upstairs front room

Of a rundown terrace house

D Dsus4

Which is obviously perfect as it sounds

[Bridge]

G D

Even in the summer

Em D

When the cardboard window that you tape on

C Cmaj7

everyday falls out and

D Dsus4

wakes us up

[Chorus]

And tonight I'm getting young drunk

Walking down the streets where I grew

up. Knowing that they're to

C D

blame it All the red brick fences look the

same. I'm getting young drunk

Walking round the streets where I grew

up. Knowing that they're to

C D

blame it. All the red brick fences look the

G C Em C D

same.

[Outro]

G D Em D C D G

All alone in the suburbs
