These Streets(Chords)

	        D         F#m 
Cross the border, 
G        A  
Into the big bad world 
         D 
where it takes you 'bout an hour 
         F#m 
just to cross the road 
        G                      A 
just to stumble across another poor old soul from 
    D                       F#m 
The dreary old lanes to the high-street madness 
  G                      A 
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes 
         D 
and it's harder than you think 
   F#m 
to delay the sadness 
     G 
that creeps up my spine 
              A 
and haunts me through the night 
            Bm 
and life is good and the girls are gorgeuos 
G 
suddenly the air smells much greener now 
        Bm 
and I'm wondering 'round 

with a half pack of cigarettes 
A 
searching for the change that I've lost somehow 
      D                     F#m 
These streets have too many names for me 
    G                                   A 
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy 
D                     F#m
I'll get used to this eventually 
  G       A 
I know, I know 
D           F#m        G           A 
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                     A 
just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from 
D                           F#m
walking by a high-rise to a landmark square 
        G                       A 
you see millions of people with millions of cares 
      D                             F#m
And I struggle to the train to make my way home 
  G                          A 
I look at the people as they sit there alone 
        Bm 
Life is good, and the sun is shining 
G 
Everybody floods to their ideal place 
        Bm 
And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them 
A 
Trying to pretend that they've got som space 
      D                     F#m
These streets have too many names for me 
    G                                   A

I'll get used to this eventually 
  G       A 
I know, I know

Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous

        Bm 
and I'm wondering 'round

A 
searching for the change that I've lost somehow
