Streets Ahead
Tragically Hip
Tom: Am
G7 C
You were streets ahead, I couldn't sleep a wink,
G7 C
staring in the dark, by the light of your skin.
D C
At myself sitting on a suitcase
F A
or as the sleeping youth in the upset sleigh.
[Chorus]
G D A A
They don't wait, they won't wait, they run with the weather.
G D A A
They don't wait.
[Verse 2]
G7 C
Listen, you can hear the sound of the sleigh,
G7 C
the panting of the team of all runners away.
D C
And all the gentle work of the traces,
F A
their jingle-jangle jerk, destroying all space.
[Chorus]
G D A A
They don't wait, they won't wait, they run with the weather.
G D A A
They don't wait.
G D A A
They don't wait, they won't wait, just stay together.
G D E E
They don't wait.
[Bridge]
F D A A
Wait.
F D A A
Wait.
F D A A
Wait.
F D E E
Wait. Please,
D D A
just stay together.
[Chorus]
G D A A
They don't wait, they won't wait, they run with the weather.
G D A A
They don't wait.
G D A A
They don't wait, they won't wait, just stay together.
G D E E
They don't wait.
[Outro]
F D A A
Wait.
F D A A
Wait.
F D A A
Wait.
F D E E
Wait. Please,
D D A
just stay together.
