Key: D
Introduction:
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
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
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
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
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.

I know, I know, you told me so
