              F                                 C  
These streets are yours, you can keep them  
       Am G Am  
I don't want them  
F                         C  
They pull me back, and I surrender  
       Am     G   Am  
To the memories I run from  
 
             F      G     Am  
Oh, we have paved these streets  
            F    G Am  
With moments of defeat  
      
F     C          Am          G  
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves  
       F    C                      G              Am  
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else  
    F                C         Am G  
But I won't show my face here anymore  
F                C          G  
I won't show my face here anymore  
 
 
These streets are yours, you can keep them        
In my mind it's like you haunt them  
And passing through, I think I see you  
In the shapes of other women  
 
Oh we have filled these walls  
With our mistakes and flaws  
 
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves  
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else  
But I won't show my face here anymore  
I won't show my face here anymore  
 
F G Am (2x)  
 
F            G     Am  
All that's left behind  
       F    G/C   Am  
Is a shadow on my mind  
F            G     Am  
All that's left behind  
       F    G/C   Am  
Is a shadow on my mind  
 
 
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves  
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else  
But I won't show my face here anymore  
I won't show my face here anymore  
 
I won't show my face here anymore  
I won't show my face here anymore
