South London Forever

	  		G 
When I go home alone 

I drive past the place where I was born 
F 
And the places that I used to drink 
Am                                   G 
Young and drunk and stumbling in the street 
                              F 
Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet 
G 
With the art students and the boys in bands 
G                                F 
High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met 

G                          F 
I thought, "It doesn't get better than this 
                     Am                G 
There can be nothing better than this, better than this." 

G 
And we climbed onto the roof, the museum 
                 F 
And someone made love in the ground 
Am 
And I'd forgot my name 
                       G 
And the way back to my mother's house 
G 
With your black cool eyes and your bitten lips 
G 
The world is at your fingertips 

F              Am 
It doesn't get better than this 
                   G 
What else could be better than this? 


G 
Oh, don't you know? I have seen 
                F 
I have seen the fields aflame 
Am 
And everything I ever did 
         G 
Was just another way to scream your name 


G                               F 
Over and over and over and over again 
G                               F 
Over and over and over and over again 

G 
And we're just children wanting children of our own 
         F 
I wanted space to watch things grow 
    Am                                G 
But did I dream too big? Do I have to let it go? 
                                                   F 
And what if one day there is no such thing as snow? 
                  Am       G 
Oh God, what do I know? 

And I don't know anything 
Except that green is so green 
And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring 


G 
Oh, don't you know? I have seen 
                F 
I have seen the fields aflame 
Am 
And everything I ever did 
         G 
Was just another way to scream your name 


G                               F 
Over and over and over and over again 
G                               F 
Over and over and over and over again 


G 
Oh, don't you know that I have seen 
                F 
I have seen the fields aflame? 
Am 
But everything I ever did 
         G 
Was just another way to scream your name
