[Verse]
D F#m G A7
Cross the border, into the big bad world
D F#m
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road,
G A7
Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
D F#m
From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
G A7
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
D F#m
And it's harder than you think to delay this sadness,
G A7
It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
G
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
Bm7
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
A7
Searching for the change I've lost somehow
[Chorus]
D F#m
These Streets, have too many names for me
G A7
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A7
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
[Verse]
D F#m G A7
Where'd the days go when all we did was play
D F#m
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
G A7
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
D F#m
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square,
G A7
You see millions of people with millions of cares
D F#m
And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
G A7
I look at the people as they sit there alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7
Life is good and the sun is shining,
G
Everybody floats to their ideal place
Bm7
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
A7
Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
[Chorus] (x2)
D F#m
These Streets, have too many names for me
G A7
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A7
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
G
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
Bm7
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
A7
Searching for the change I've lost somehow
[Chorus] (x2)
D F#m
These Streets, have too many names for me
G A7
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A7
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

I know, I know, you told me so
