Deaf Havana - Kings Road Ghosts

verse 1 :
Em G D C
i drove my car along the old bus route to my parents house today
Em G D C
and on my way i saw the places i once loved begin to fade
Em G D C
the recreation grounds i knew so well have been replaced
Em G D C
with worn out football pitches , tennis courts and empty space

chorus :
C Em D
i miss the days i used to know , i had a place
C Em D
where all the friends i thought i loved , weren’t far away
Em Bm C G
before i lost my way and these streets still knew my name
C G D Em
i miss the days i knew i had a place , a place in everything

Em , G , D , C x2

verse 2 :
Em G
now there are ghosts in the eyes of the checkout girls and the
D C
boys that run the bars
Em G D C
who 5 years ago were aspiring artists or poets with guitars
Em C G D C
we wore our hearts so far down our sleeves that we lost them day to day
D Em C
but this place , isn’t the same you see
G D Em C
and these streets , don’t feel like home to me

chorus :
C Em D
i miss the days i used to know , i had a place
C Em D
where all the friends i thought i loved , weren’t far away
Em Bm C G
before i lost my way and these streets still knew my name
C G D Em . . .
i miss the days i knew i had a place , a place in everything

whoa’s : . . . Em – B – C – D – C – G – D

bridge/outro :
Em Bm
i parked the car and made my way down closer to the sea .
C G C G D
i inhaled the summer breeze and i felt free .
Em Bm
i forgot how much i missed the way , the sun lit up the east coast bays
C G D Em
and made the north sea come alive , and at night we’d pass the lighthouse by
C G D
on the our way to drown ourselves in illegal wine .
C G D
and we’d stay awake til the morning cars went by ,
C G D
with nothing but a bus fare and a smile
Em D C
and i couldn’t help but smile .
