Cm
Chicken shops with £2 tops
      F
We're roaming but can't get enough
Bb
Eating sunshine everyday
  Gm7
Accustomed to our South East way
Cm
Cruising in the rainy streets
F
Smoking cigarettes like sweets
Bb
Creamy legs in London air
    Gm7
Our hands are up but we still care
    Cm           F
The blades don't turn
                      Bb
But you see them from miles and miles
        Gm7
And you learn
                  Cm                    F
That over here we hide our grief behind smiles
       Bb                               Gm7
And we run around and laugh cos' that's our style


[Chorus]
Cm    F
Oh we know
         Bb
It's not about where we're living
         Gm7
Make the most for a minute
          Cm           F
Girls can dream, still no
         Bb
It's not about where we're living
         Gm7                    Cm      F
Make the most for a minute, ye
          Bb
(It's not about where we're living
         Gm7                   Cm      F
Make the most for a minute)
          Bb
(It's not about where we're living
         Gm7
Make the most for a minute)


[Verse 2]
Cm
Tommy, Shaq, Nathan and Mo
 F
"Mum why ain't my brother home?"
Bb
Cradled by a dozen flowers
    Gm7
The streets just took another child
Cm                       F
Ain't it strange that my home
                     Bb
Had closed before it ever opened
          Gm7
Don't you know
                  Cm             F
That over here we hide our grief behind smiles
       Bb                                 Gm7
And we run around and laugh 'cause that's our style


[Chorus]
Cm    F
Oh we know
         Bb
It's not about where we're living
         Gm7
Make the most for a minute
          Cm           F
Girls can dream, still no
         Bb
It's not about where we're living
         Gm7
Make the most for a minute, ye


[Verse 3]
Cm
  There's pain outside
                   F
There's pain in the art

No time for the worst in me
Bb
 Remember finding the email
             Gm7
From the penitentiary that locked up Tariq
Cm
  They don't have control on us
F
No, they don't have control on we
Bb
They can steal all of our space
    Gm7
But if we ain't there then it's cheap


[Chorus]
Cm    F
Oh we know
         Bb
It's not about where we're living
         Gm7
Make the most for a minute
          Cm           F
Girls can dream, still no
         Bb
It's not about where we're living
         Gm7                    Cm      F      Bb     Gm7
Make the most for a minute, ye
