D
we're driving in our car in town
A                                E           Em
convinced this is the only place we are alone
D                                A
looking out and thinking in and looking out and in again
E       Em
hey hey
  D
I walk into a shop
        A
and she walks into the shop and I
E                                     Em
walk into the same shop that she's in

[Chorus]
D           A
the road is here
                E
the footpath is there
                 Em          D   A E
buildings placed neatly everywhere

[Verse 2]
   D
my pockets full of hands
       A                          E                Em
and my hands know exactly what is in those pockets
D
exactly
        A             E      Em
I'm not really concentrating
D
old man sitting down from us
A
he's looking good
    E            Em
and looking into space
D                             A
we interupt the vision on his face and he says
       E                                   Em
"don't train, don't train, don't train the genius"

[Chorus]
D           A
the road is here
                E
the footpath is there
                 Em          D   A E
buildings placed neatly everywhere

[Verse 3]
D
count the numbers 2 and 4
    A
and sit down on the couch
E                        Em
listen to the vibrations coming from their mouths
D                             A
he's 38 and reinvites himself into his life
   E
he says he's never been there
         Em
he says "neither has my wife"
D                               A                 Em
the camera dollies round and disappears from sight

[Chorus]
D           A
the road is here
                E
the footpath is there
                 Em          D   A E
buildings placed neatly everywhere
D           A
the road is here
                E
the footpath is there
                 Em          D   A E
buildings placed neatly everywhere
