These Streets

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

Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous

suddenly the air smells much greener now
