DGbmGA Cross the border, into the big bad world
DGbm Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road,
GA Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
DGbm From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
GA I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
DGbm And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness,
GA It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
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
A Searching for the change I've lost somehow
DGbm These Streets, have too many names for me
GA I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
DGbmGA I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
DGbmGA Where'd the days go when all we did was lay
DGbm And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
GA Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
DGbm From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square,
GA You see millions of people with millions of cares
DGbm And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
GA I look at the people as they sit there alone
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,
A Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
-repeat-
DGbm These Streets, have too many names for me
GA I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
DGbmGA I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
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
A Searching for the change I've lost somehow
-repeat-
DGbm These Streets, have too many names for me
GA I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
DGbmGA I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
