GWalk out of the door and make my way up the street
GCold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek
EMNot a soul to be heard so no point to complain
EMAt least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain
GHit the queue for the bus and then join the line
GSame faces for the last ten years of my life
EMSee I'm bored of my friends I couldn't tell you their names
EMShattered glass on the floor the kids have run out of gamGes    
GAnd I don't see that's ever gonna chaEMnge

GOne hour passes till I'm back on my feet
GA stone's throw I will be walking till I'm off the street
EMHang my coat to dry, settle down with the herd
EMSome I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves
GTurn my back to the clock cause it slows the time
GTake out a cigarette and hear the match strike
EMTurn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain
EMSame bands same songs play again and again
GAnd I don't see that's ever gonna chaEMnge

GTime there moves slow but rushes when I'm away
EMPass a girl from my school the conversation's brief
EMGotta catch that train, get myself some relief
GI meet up with friends and they knock off at six
GI get in at five and walk about for a bit
EMWatch the world go by through an empty glass
EMAnd I know that won't be the last 'so'

This is my first attempt but let me know what you think. I have taken this from a

recent acoustic gig I saw with just Joel and Luke.

Capo 5th Fret

Walk out of the door and make my way up the street

Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek

Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain

At least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain

Hit the queue for the bus and then join the line

Same faces for the last ten years of my life

See I'm bored of my friends I couldn't tell you their names

EM G

Shattered glass on the floor the kids have run out of games

G EM

And I don't see that's ever gonna change

One hour passes till I'm back on my feet

A stone's throw I will be walking till I'm off the street

Hang my coat to dry, settle down with the herd

Some I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves

Turn my back to the clock cause it slows the time

Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike

Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain

Same bands same songs play again and again

G EM

And I don't see that's ever gonna change

C D EM C D EM

Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away

C D G

And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

From my place of work I move away in haste

Time there moves slow but rushes when I'm away

Pass a girl from my school the conversation's brief

Gotta catch that train, get myself some relief

I meet up with friends and they knock off at six

I get in at five and walk about for a bit

Watch the world go by through an empty glass

And I know that won't be the last 'so'

C D EM C D EM

Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away

C D G

And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

Creep back into bed and I pull up the sheet

High over my head and undercover my feet

Till the room goes dark and i'm miles away

Jump to the alarm and start another day!
