[Intro 1]
[G]
[F][Am][G][F][Am]
[G]
Stevie [F]said now [Am]don't look round they're watching

[Verse 1]
[G]
us
Two [F]girls in the [Am]corner of that
dodgy [G]club
And the grey [F]eyes, the [Am]storm that
I've come [G]to know and wish for
[F]Before I caught a [Am]breath,
well, she was standing [G]there.
[F]We walked the streets [Am]of our
town just talk[G]ing
And [F]the dawn broke [Am]grey and freezing
through the [G]deserted blocks
Just when your [F]life [Am]is stale and there's reason
[G]there for everything
[F]Something comes [Am]to kick
you up in[G]side
[Dm]Eleven sweet [C]years and no [G]nearer home
A hundred [Dm]thousand[C]s miles
through [G]this battle zone
[Dm]Still high on the [C]wire [G]above
the hollow darkness
Trying [F]not to look down
[Am][G][F][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]
No [F]Rest for the [Am]wicked
is still [G]how it goes
[F]Twisted up and [Am]turning in my [G]bed alone
And [F]separation [Am]pains like a
[G]blunted amputation
[F]Pushing endless [Am]coins in the [G]telephone
[Dm]El even sw[C]eet years and no n[G]earer home
A [Dm]hundred thousands [C]miles
through this [G]battle zone
Still [Dm]high on the [C]wire [G]above
the hollow [F]darkness
Trying not to look down
[Bb]So

[Verse 3]
[C]rest in these open arms [Bb]and lie
[C]until they come for you
[Bb]And tell m[Dm]e everything you'v[C]e ever felt,
tell me everything you [Gm]want to see
[F][G][F][G]

[Verse 4]
Forever [F]running even [Am]when we
are stand[G]ing still
Driven on [F]and [Am]fired up as the whirl
[G]winds blow
And shout[F]ing out inside [Am]"I'm [G]proud of you,
I'm proud of you"
Ten thou[F]sand [Dm]footsteps e[Am]cho
down the Brix[G]ton Road
[Dm]Eleven sweet y[C]ears and no [G]nearer home
A hun[Dm]dred thousands [C]miles
through this [G]battle zone
Still high [Dm]on the [C]wire
[G]above the hollow darkness
Trying [F]not to look down
