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
V1
G
Walk out of the door and make my way up the street
G
Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek
EM
Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain
EM
At least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain
G
Hit the queue for the bus and then join the line
G
Same faces for the last ten years of my life
EM
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
V2
G
One hour passes till I'm back on my feet
G
A stone's throw I will be walking till I'm off the street
EM
Hang my coat to dry, settle down with the herd
EM
Some I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves
G
Turn my back to the clock cause it slows the time
G
Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike
EM
Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain
EM
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.
V3
G
From my place of work I move away in haste
G
Time there moves slow but rushes when I'm away
EM
Pass a girl from my school the conversation's brief
EM
Gotta catch that train, get myself some relief
G
I meet up with friends and they knock off at six
G
I get in at five and walk about for a bit
EM
Watch the world go by through an empty glass
EM
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.
V4
G
Creep back into bed and I pull up the sheet
G
High over my head and undercover my feet
EM
Till the room goes dark and i'm miles away
EM
Jump to the alarm and start another day!
