Intro: [D] [F#m] [G] [A] x2


Cr[D]oss the [F#m] border, into [G] the big bad [A] world
Wh[D]ere it takes you 'bout an hour just to cr[F#m]oss the road
Just to st[G]umble across another po[A]or old soul
Fr[D]om the dreary old lanes into the [F#m] high street madness
I [G] fight with my brains to be[A]lieve my eyes
And it[D]'s harder than you think to [F#m] delay the sadness
That cr[G]eeps up my spine and haunts me th[A]rough the night


[Bm7] Life is good and the girls are gorgeous,
[G] Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[Bm7] And I'm wandering around with a half pack of cigarettes
[A] Searching for the change I've lost somehow


Th[D]ese streets have [F#m] too many names for me
I'[G]m used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Orchy
I'[D]ll get used to this ev[F#m]entually I kn[G]ow, I kn[A]ow


We[D]re'd the da[F#m]ys go wh[G]en all we did was [A] play
A[D]nd the stress that we were under wasn't st[F#m]ress at all
Ju[G]st a run and a jump into a harm[A]less fall
Fr[D]om walking by a high rise to a la[F#m]ndmark square
You see  mi[G]llions of people with mi[A]llions of cares
A[D]nd  I struggle to the train to make my [F#m] way home
I [G] look at the people as they [A] sit there alone


[Bm7] Life is good and the sun is shining, 
[G] Everybody floods 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


Th[D]ese streets have [F#m] too many names for me
I'[G]m used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Orchy
I'[D]ll get used to this ev[F#m]entually I kn[G]ow, I kn[A]ow


Th[D]ese streets have [F#m] too many names for me
I'[G]m used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Orchy
I'[D]ll get used to this ev[F#m]entually I kn[G]ow, I kn[A]ow


[Bm7] Life is good and the girls are gorgeous,
[G] Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[Bm7] And I'm wandering around with a half pack of cigarettes
[A] Searching for the change I've lost somehow


Th[D]ese streets have [F#m] too many names for me
I'[G]m used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Orchy
I'[D]ll get used to this ev[F#m]entually I kn[G]ow, I kn[A]ow
Th[D]ese streets have [F#m] too many names for me
I'[G]m used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Orchy
I'[D]ll get used to this ev[F#m]entually I kn[G]ow, I kn[A]ow
