G A G


[Verse 1]
g                   Em
The street where we live
            Bm                       F#m
Is commonly known as being the wrong side of town
G                    Em
They look down their noses at you
     Bm                  A
Like they're entitled to keep you down
G                  Em
Our street has its social issues
    Bm                   F#m
And violent crime by the bucket load
G                      A                G
They laughed when they named it Harmony Road


[Verse 2]
G                     Em
They say where you're born
               Bm                       F#m
Will have an effect on how you turn out in life
G              Em
So how can you make a living
     Bm                A
When all you have is a pocket knife?
G                  Em
You don't have the choice to run
      Bm             F#m
From anothеr violent episode
G          A                    G
Wеlcome to life here on Harmony Road


[Chorus]
G        Em         Bm      F#m
One day, we'll make a break
G          Em         Bm         A
Get out of here, make no mistake
G             Em
We'll steal a car
Bm                F#m
Find a happy song on the radio
G                   A          G
And never come back to Harmony Road


[Verse 3]
G                 Em
You walk down the hill
                 Bm                    F#m
And past the old factory shuttered for twenty years
G                Em
There used to be work
               Bm                  A
But you wonder how you'll ever get out of here
G          Em
If I had a song in me
        Bm                 F#m
I would pay off all of the debts I owed
G              A               G
I'm all out of tune on Harmony Road


[Verse 4]
G                 Em
I'll find us some money
           Bm                  F#m
And I will take you with me, I promise you
     G            Em
I'll buy you some fancy clothes
          Bm                   A
And we'll do all the things we wanted to
G               Em
And no one will know
               Bm                    F#m
That we're any different, we're just à la mode
    G            A                G
The king and the queen of Harmony Road

[Chorus]
G#    Fm              Cm               Gm
  One day, we'll make a break from here
G#           Fm       Cm            Bb
We'll make it big and have no fear
G#              Fm
Won't carry the social stigma
   Cm                  Gm
Of being judged by our postal code
G#             Bb                G#
And we will be done with Harmony Road


[Outro]
G#              Fm
But then in our dreams
             Cm                 Gm
Are we to be haunted by what we left behind?
G#              Fm
That road has a way of
            Cm               Bb
Pulling you back if ever you give it mind
G#            Fm
No matter the riches
            Cm               Gm
And all the palaces where we may have strode
G#             Bb              G#
We'll always belong to Harmony Road
G#             Bb              G#
We'll always belong to Harmony Road
