The Rolling Stones - Whole Wide World

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
C
Em C Em C

[Verse 1]
Em C
The streets I used to walk on
Em C
Are full of broken glass
Em C
And everywhere I’m looking
Em C
There’s memories of my past
Em C
The filthy flat in Fulham
Em C
The smell of sex and gas
Em C
I never, ever really knew
Em C
Where I was sleeping next

[Chorus]
G
When the whole wide world’s against you
F#m
And you’re standing in the rain
Em
When all your friends have let you down
C
And treat you with disdain
G
When the whole wide world’s against you
F#m
And that’s got you on the run
Em
And you think the party’s over
C Em C Em C
But it’s only just, only just begun

[Verse 2]
Em C
Behind the bars of prison
Em C
You never guess it now
Em C
They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls
Em C
And the guards are lardy louts
Em C
The cameras that are watching you
Em C
They see a sullen face
Em C
Get me out the door, can’t keep me in no more
Em C
I’m breaking down the gates

[Chorus]
G
When the whole wide world’s against you
F#m
And you’re standing in the rain
Em
And your walls are one beside you
C
To put you up again
G
When the whole wide world’s against you
F#m
And that’s got you on the run
Em
And you think the party’s over
C Em C
But it’s only just, only just begun

[Instrumental]
Em C
Em C Em C
Em C Em C
Em C Em C

[Bridge]
G
When the dreary streets of London
F#m
They never promise much
Em
A dead end job to nowhere
C
And all your dreams are crushed

[Chorus]
G
When the whole wide world’s against you
F#m
And you’re standing in the rain
Em
When all your friends have let you down
C
And treat you with disdain
G
And you think the party’s over
F#m
But it’s only just begun
Em
Let’s raise a glass, get up and dance
C Em C
‘Cause life’s just hit and, hit and, hit and run

[Outro]
Em C Em
Hit and run, yeah
C Em C Em C
The party’s over
Em C Em C
Ayy
Em C Em
World’s against you
