[D] [F#m] [G] [A]

[D] Cross the [F#m] border, [G] into the [A] big bad world
Where it [D] takes you about an hour just to [F#m] cross the road,
Just to [G] stumble across another [A] poor old soul,
From the [D] dreary old lanes to the [F#m] High St madness,
I [G] fight with my brain to [A] believe my eyes
And it's [D] harder than you think to [F#m] believe this sadness,
It [G] creeps up my spine and haunts me [A] through the night

Life is [Bm7] good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[G] Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm [Bm7] wandering around with a half pack of cigarettes
[A] Searching for the change I've lost somehow

These [D] Streets, have too many [F#m] names for me
I'm [G] used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Or[D]chy
I'll get used to this [F#m] eventually I [G] know, I [A] know

[D] Where'd the [F#m] days go [G] when all we [A] did was lay
And the [D] stress that we were under wasn't [F#m] stress at all,
Just a [G] run and a jump into a [A] harmless fall
From [D] walking by a high-rise to a [F#m] landmark square,
You see [G] millions of people with [A] millions of cares
And I [D] struggle to the train to make [F#m] my way home
I [G] look at the people as they [A] sit there alone

Life is [Bm7] good and the sun is shining,
[G] Everybody floods to their ideal place
And the [Bm7] children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
[A] Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
