[Intro]
|:   F   G:|
[Verse 1]
FStevie said now don't look round they're wGatching us
Two gFirls in the corner of that Gdodgy club
And the Fgrey eyes, the storm that I've Gcome to know and wish for
FBefore I caught a breath
Well she was sGtanding there
We Fwalked the streets of our town just Gtalking
And the Fdawn broke grey and freezing through the Fdeserted blocks
Just Fwhen your life is stale and there's Greason there for everything
FSomething comes to kick you up Ginside
[Chorus]
EDmleven sweet Cyears and no Gnearer home
A Dmhundred thousands Cmiles through this Gbattle zone
Still Dmhigh on the Cwire Gabove the hollow Gdarkness
Trying Fnot to look Fdown...
[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]
So Bbrest
 CIn these open arms and Bbcry
 CUntil they come for you Bband tell
 DmAnd tell me everything that you've Cever felt
 CTell me everything you Gwant 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...

[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

Before I caught a breath

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]

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...
