[Intro]
A F#m E B F#m A C#m
[Verse]
 BIt’s raining aF#mgain,
and it Aseems like this city gets C#drearier everyBday,
Perhaps it’s the F#mweather
or maybe I’ve Abeen here too long,
still I deC#mfiantly stay,
And they Bbuild more upmarket F#mriverside housing,
when there are Astreets down the road
with no C#mpeople to fill.
A Bregional hub of proF#msperity committing Acharacter suicC#mide,
and there’s D#mnot a lot more of it Eleft to kF#ill.
[Chorus]
BThey won’t be F#happy uBntil G#every F#city Ecentre looks the same,B  F#  
BHelplessly F#trapped withBin hoG#mogeF#neiAty,
I want to tell them they should Ebe ashamed,
but I’m not sure who to Bblame,
B F#m A C#m
[Verse]
You Bknow the day’s a F#mwrite off
when even the ADurham adverC#mtiser is getting you Bdown,
some local kid just got F#mbeat to death
drinking Awith his friends at a C#mclub in town,
and is Bthis the F#mprice we pay?
Was he a Aworthy sacriC#mfice to make?
I’m not Bgonna leave the fucking F#mhouse today,
I’ll just Astare at the ceiling,C#m  
I’ll just lie on the D#mcold, cold groEund.F#

[Intro]

A F#m E B F#m A C#m

[Verse]

B F#m

It’s raining again,

A C# B

and it seems like this city gets drearier everyday,

F#m

Perhaps it’s the weather

or maybe I’ve been here too long,

C#m

still I defiantly stay,

B F#m

And they build more upmarket riverside housing,

when there are streets down the road

C#m

with no people to fill.

B F#m A C#m

A regional hub of prosperity committing character suicide,

D#m E F#

and there’s not a lot more of it left to kill.

[Chorus]

B F# B G# F# E B F#

They won’t be happy until every city centre looks the same,

B F# B G# F# A

Helplessly trapped within homogeneity,

I want to tell them they should be ashamed,

but I’m not sure who to blame,

B F#m A C#m

[Verse]

B F#m

You know the day’s a write off

A C#m B

when even the Durham advertiser is getting you down,

F#m

some local kid just got beat to death

A C#m

drinking with his friends at a club in town,

B F#m

and is this the price we pay?

A C#m

Was he a worthy sacrifice to make?

B F#m

I’m not gonna leave the fucking house today,

A C#m

I’ll just stare at the ceiling,

D#m E F#

I’ll just lie on the cold, cold ground.

[Chorus]

B F# B G# F# E B F#

They won’t be happy until every city centre looks the same,

B F# B G# F# A

Helplessly trapped within homogeneity,

I want to tell them they should be ashamed,

A E

but I’m not sure who to blame,

[Outro]

C#m B A E

(palm mute) C#m A E x4

C#m A E C#m

One more metre of concrete,

A E C#m

One more local shop closed down,

A E C#m

No matter how much they change it,

E C#m

This is still our town.

A E C#m

One more metre of concrete,

A E C#m

One more local shop closed down,

A E C#m

No matter how much they change it,

E C#m A

This is still our town.
