Intro
Em Ebm Em (fast)
Bbm   A    F#

Em Ebm Em				Bbm
I can prove anything
A					F#
I'll make you admit again and again
I can prove anything
The way that it's read again and again

Bbm							C#
And its only cos you came here with your brothers too
F							Bbm
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Its only cos you follow what the others do
Its no excuse to say your easily lead

You can choose anything
You choose to lose again and again
You could do anything
Why should you do anything again

And its only cos you came here with your brothers too
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Winding yourself up until your turning blue
Repeating everything that you've read

Ab				Ebm    C#
And here we go with the letter
Ab				Ebm    C#
Well can you fix it for me
B				Ebm    C#
Cos we need entertainment
B				Ebm    C#
To keep us all off the streets

F#  			C#			B
So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

Em Ebm Em			Bbm
You can try anything
A				F#
And no-one would know apart from you and me
You can stop anything
It's starts with just one and turns to two then three

Bbm					C#
Its only cos you came here with your brothers too
F					Bbm
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Raise a glass or two
You raise a fist or two
Get a shopping basket wrapped round your head

Ab				Ebm		C#
So here we go with the letter
Ab				Ebm		C#
Oh can you fix it for me
B				Ebm		C#
24 hour drinking
B				Ebm		C#
To keep us all off the streets

F#				C#		B
So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed

Bm
We are the angry mob
            D
We read the papers every day
    G
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
          F#
But we're also easily swayed

Aaaahh-Watching the people get lairy
D                    Am                 
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Am                            C 
Walking through town is quite scary
D                     Am 
And not very sensible either
Am                          C 
A friend of a friend he got beaten
D                           Am 
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Am                           C 
Would never have happened to Smeaton

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
F                 Bb          F 
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
 

I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat, well they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible 

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la 

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

That doesn't want to be out there 

Bb          F     Bb          F 
I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

So Thank you very much

And I want you to know when to go


Chorus:
         A#
Cos this should be a thrill
       C
But it feels like a drill
        D                      D#
Now you must let me go, let me go


Verse 2: 
C                C

  And there's nothing nothing nothing I can't do x4

Never thought I would experience this
From the other side

Going through the motions
Fm                     Cm
I have no idea how you know

In other people's oceans

Of the local area

And that impressed me quite
     Cm
So I tried that night
Fm
We did things I thought you'd like
    Eb
But that just made it worse
        C#
And I impressed you not
     Cm
Well not a lot

Bbm
Slow-ly star-ting from the start...

         Fm
When the heat dies down

Fm                        Cm

Til death do part we told them
Fm                             Cm
Right now I can stroll back 20 years
                 C#
Spending time at hers
               Bbm Cm
Talking to our mothers

Fm                              Eb
I've got wider knowledge of the world
                          C#       Cm
I just can't face another argument about the rent,
Fm
It all seems so important
       Eb
In the grander scheme of things
           C#
But I was purpose built
   Cm
To not feel guilt

Bbm
Slow-ly end-ing at the end...


         Fm
When the heat dies down
        Cm
I'll be back in town

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

repeats.
