Chords

(This is a 1985 music video, it seems the group often changes the lyrics and order of the song) [Intro]
Cm                   Bb
On the outskirts of nowhere

Ab                  Bb
On the ring road to somewhere

Gm
On the verge of indecision

      Ab              Bb        Cm
I'll always take the roundabout way

Cm              Bb
Waiting on the rain

    Bb    Ab
For I was born with a habit

Bb
From a sign
[Bridge]
    Cm                    Bb
The habit of a windswept thumb

G                             D
It's six o'clock in the tower blocks

C        D          G       D
The stalagmites of culture shock

G                        D               C        D
And the trippers of the light fantastic, bow down, hoe-down

G            D                         C            D
Spray their pheromones on this perfume uniform

G                          D    C         D
And anarchy smiles in the royal mile

G                   D      G        D
And they're waiting on the slyboys, flyboys, wideboys

Em                D
Rooting, tooting cowboys

D                          G
Lucky little ladies at the watering holes

D
They'll score the Friday night goals
