[Strophe]
 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-Refrain]
 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
[Refrain]
 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
[Strophe]
 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-Refrain]
 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.
[Refrain]

These Streets, have too many names for me
