These Streets

 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 believe 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
