These Streets Chords

Easy Chords

Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse]
 
 C              Em   F         G
Cross the border, into the big bad world
 C                                        Em
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road,
         F                      G
Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
 C                               Em
From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
 F                          G
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
     C                             Em
And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness,
    F                                G
It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
 Am
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
 F
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
 Am
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
 G
Searching for the change I've lost somehow
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 C                   Em
These Streets, have too many names for me
 F                                       G
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
 C                     Em          F       G
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
 
 
[Verse]
 
 C           Em     F                   G
Where'd the days go when all we did was play
 C                                        Em
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
 F                            G
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
 C                                Em
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square,
         F                       G
You see millions of people with millions of cares
 C                                  Em
And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
 F                            G
I look at the people as they sit there alone
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
 Am
Life is good and the sun is shining,
 F
Everybody floats to their ideal place
 Am
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
 G
Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
 
 
[Chorus] (x2)
 
 C                   Em
These Streets, have too many names for me
 F                                       G
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
 C                     Em          F       G
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

Suddenly the air smells much greener now

And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes

I know, I know, you told me so
