These Streets

Sunny Side Up

Caustic Love

Paolo Giovanni Nutini (born 9th January 1987) is a singer-songwriter from Paisley, Scotland. His father is of italian descent and his mother Glaswegian, although his father's family have been in Scotland for four generations. His influences include David Bowie, Damien Rice, Oasis, The Beatles, U2, Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac.  Nutini had no formal music training, and was expecting to follow his father into the family fish and chip shop business. He was first encouraged to sing by his music-loving grandfather and a teacher at his school who recognized his talent.

'Cross the border, into the big bad world 
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road, 
Just to stumble across another poor old sole, 
From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes 
And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness, I
t creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night

[Bm7]
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous, 
[G]
Suddenly the air smells much greener now 
[Bm7]
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
[A]
Searching for the change I've lost somehow

These Streets, have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know


Where'd the days go when all we did was lay
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square, 
You see millions of people with millions of cares
And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
I look at the people as they sit there alone

Life is good and the sun is shining, 
Everybody floats to their ideal place
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them, 
Trying to pretend that they've got some space.

These Streets, have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know.

Intro: Am     Em

      Am
I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Em
Trying to make myself a sail
          G
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
         D7
With the evening on my tail
                 Am
Although not the most honest means of travel
   Em
It gets me there nonetheless
      G
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
      D7
And a helpless one at best

             Am
Darling I'll bathe your skin
          Em
I'll even wash your clothes
             G                   D7
Just give me some candy, before I go
                 Am
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
                 Em
And lay you down on your rug
             G
Just give me some candy
        D7
After my heart

Etc.

Oh I'm often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
and although I'm left defeated
It get's held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart

Instrumental: Am Em
  G                             D7
I know that there´re writings on the wall

But Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart

   C                      G
Oh I'll be there waiting for you 
C                      G
I'll be there waiting for you 
C                   Em
I'll be there waiting for you 
C                    G
I'll be there waiting for you
C                    Em
I'll be there waiting for you
    C                    G
Oh I'll be there waiting for you  
C                        Em
I'll be there waiting for you

D           D9
Coming home again
D           D9               D           D9
to see a girl that?s prettier than a diamond in the sun
D           D9
Oh what fun!
C9                                     G
I wonder if she's been naked in her room since I?ve been gone
C9                                     G
I wonder if she's said to them as she said to me before

D                                D9
however much you use me baby, come on use me more
D                                D9
however much you use me baby, come on use me more

D                  D9
Getting off the train
          D          D9       D                   D9
To see a girl that?s sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree
D         D9
Oh glory be!
C9                                     G
And I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall
C9                                     G
And said to all those men as she said to me before

D                                D9
However much you want me, I swear I?ll make you want me more
D                                D9
However much you want me, I swear I?ll make you want me more 

and more and more and more

C				                        F
My hopes are high but my eyes can't
                   C
Believe what they see,

Give me something to believe,

Give me something to believe, 
C
I got lucky in life and had plenty to eat and

I saw this world as one big pool of opportunity

But there's too much mind corruption,

Too little remedy (or that's how it seems to me)
                G
Yeah we need a moral education to
F                     C
Set the young minds free...

C
So let us teach what we can and accept what we can't

Impart some of the wisdom from that tried and tested man

There's no harm in being wrong you know no, 
                           C
In fact to me, it's common ground - yeah
               G
So take that feather from you cap sir, 
F				                           C
And pass that feather around...

High Hopes

Autumn by Paolo Nutini
        
Intro: A A2 Asus4 x2

A                   F#m    E
Autumn leaves under frozen souls
A                    F#m      E
Hungry hands turning soft and old
D       E                F#m       E      D
My hero cry, as we stood out there in the cold
D                         E                       A
Like these autumn leaves, I don?t have nothing to hold

A A2 Asus4 

A   (A2  Asus4)          F#m      E
Handsome smiles, wearing handsome shoes
A        (A2 Asus4)         F#m      E
Too young to say,  though I swear he knew                 
D              E                 F#m                D
And I hear him singing, while he sits there in his chair
D                         E                  A     A2 Asus4            
While these autumn leaves, float around everywhere 

Bm                 A                       
And I look at you, and I see me, 
E               D        A
Making noise, so restlessly 
Bm                  A       
But now it?s quiet, and I can hear you sing:
E
?oeMy little fish don?t cry, 
D
My little fish don?t cry?


A                 F#m     E    
Autumn leaves how fading now
A                               F#m       E
That smile I?ve lost, well I?ve found somehow
D                 E             F#m     D
Because you still live on in my fathers eyes

D            E
These autumn leaves, 
F#m          (E) D
All these autumn leaves, 
D                E                 A          A2 Asus4    A
All these autumn leaves, are yours tonight

New Shoes

Em
I have returned to the northern skies
Em
where the summer had not touched
Em
The clouds that pass above
       Am
Oh, and I have returned to the sombre grace
       D        C                     D
Of the days too early to come and too early to stay
    A
And I have left a million stars
       D
And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue
    A
And I have left the warmth of the sun
      D       C          D            
And a million adventures not yet begun
G                                   F# Em
The great sense of passing through
Em
The great sense of passing through
Am                 Dsus2          G F# Em
The great sense of passing through
    Em
Oh, for once there was beauty here for me
A
Under these white northern skies
Am
And I felt the green was blacker
Am
And the blue was darker still
    D
My roots are lying deeper than I ever think they will again
A                       D    C       D           
Heartache and poverty, under these northern skies
G                                  F# Em
The great sense of passing through

Northern Skies

D
I've got a sheet for my bed
 and a pillow for my head; 
I've got a pencil full of lead; 
and some water for my throat 
                 G
I've got buttons for my coat; and sails on my boat
   D 
So much more than I needed before 
        A                                                G
I got money in the meter and a two bar heater
D 
Now it's getting hotter; 
Oh it's only getting sweeter 
I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair 
Pot and a pan 
And some shoes on my feet; 
           G                                  D
I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth 
A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock; 
            A                                       G
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
          D 
And nothing's gonna bring me down 
(musical solo – D, G, D, A, G, D)

D
I got a nice guitar and tyres on my car 
I got most of the means; and scripts for the scenes 
         G
I'm out and about, so I'm in with a shout 
            D
I got a fair bit of chat but better than that
A                                         G 
Food in my belly and a license for my telly 
             D
and nothing's going to bring me down 

(musical solo – D, G, D, A, G, D)
Nothing's gonna bring me down
 D
But best of all (best of all) 
I've got my baby 
G
But best of all (best of all) 
                      D
I've got my baby
               A                                G
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine 
            D
And nothing's going to bring me down 
(musical solo – D, G, D, A, G, D)

D
But best of all (best of all) 
I've got my baby 
G
But best of all (best of all) 
                      D
I've got my baby
               A                                G
She's mighty fine and says she's all mine

(and funk my life up) 
B                         A                   E
Lips like Debbie's, sing sex like strawberry songs 
       A       D
(Just funk my life up) 
B                                 A
Never heard it coming, but she's just another woman 
         E
With a shotgun in her hand 
  A      D
(Funk my life up) 
B                      A                         E
She's a bait, she's a beat, she's the rhythm, she's the band

(Just funk my life up) 
        B           F#
And the girl's so fine

Yea-aaaah, ye-eeeeah

Sly hand, spinning wax like silk 
B                                   A      E
Beats are dripping on me, are like spider milk 
   B                             A        
And I never had a warning when I woke up this morning 
        E
With my sunshine on a drip 
B                      A                                     E

And I never got a script, got a tip, got a little...up in my brain 
 B                         F#             E
she's the church, she's a sin, she's a diamond chaser 
  B
she's the rain

And the girl's so fine

Worried Man

&quot;These Streets&quot;  Cross the border, Into the big bad world Where it takes you 'bout an hour Just to cross the road Just to stumble across another poor old soul from The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness I fight with my brain to believe my eyes And it's harder than you think To believe this sadness That creeps up my spine And haunts me through the night And life is good and the girls are gorgeous Suddenly the air smells much greener now And I'm wondering around With a half pack of cigarettes 

This is the sixth track from Nutini's June first release 'Sunny Side Up'. It has already become the favourite of many Nutini fans because of its fast-paced, catchy lyrics and upbeat feel.

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
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


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
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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

American Dream 

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.
