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 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 Where'd the days go when all we did was play? And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square You see millions of people with millions of cares And I struggle to the train to make my way home I look at the people as they sit there alone Life is good and the sun is shining Everybody flirts to their ideal place And the children all smile as a boat shuffled by them Trying to pretend that they've got some space Chorus - x2 Life is good and the girls are gorgeous Suddenly the air smells much greener now And I'm wondering around with the half pack of cigarettes Searching for the change that I've lost somehow Chorus - x2 I know I know 'Cause you keep telling me so You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA7 D F#m G Bm7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
