[Verse]
 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 delay 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]

D F#m G A7 x3 I know, I know, you told me so
