Crossing Newbury Street Chords - Roddy Frame

Verse

C I remember the December sky Yellow sun casting a haze F I can almost see the halo flare C In the corner of my eye Its like a picture that I took that day Snapped a scene and then just put it away F Beneath the whirling helicopter blades C Became aware of my life F Funny how now that life’s been revealed E Feels like time travel is real F The same kid figuring out how it feels G As I stare at the unravelling reels

Chorus

C Em Memories over flowing from my cup all F G Tripping me up and I stumble C Em Wishes and dreams I pushed out of my mind F G Come back to find me Gm C F Fm They tumble down through my ages C G And leave me drowning in a sorrow so sweet C I don't want to be saved

Verse

C I recall crossing Newbury Street Cutting corners, keeping everyone sweet F The kindest people all working on my beat C But something souring inside C All fall, finding my feet From fiery leaves to splashing holiday sleet F I strapped my walkman on and prized defeat C From the jaws of victory and then sighed F Well, ain't it strange, the arrangements we blew E Just to find time travel's come true F I can't tell the old from the new G The sound of someone strumming still bleeding through

Chorus

Bridge

F Cause who'd be saved from mistakes? C Am When they're what makes life more G Than just a movie on a screen F And who'd be saved from doubt? C When it's what faith is all about, Am G It makes us more than just machines

Chorus
