      Saw two other tabs for this but really it should be played with a capo. Sounds better too.

CAPO 2RD FRET.


[Verse 1]

[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


[Chorus]

[Am7] 
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[F] 
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[Am7] 
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
[G] 
Searching for the change I've lost somehow

Just repeat the C,EM,F,G Chord pattern for verses and the AM7,F,AM7,G for the  
bridge/ life is good bit


[Verse 2]
(verse 1 chords)

Where'd the days go? When all we did was play
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall from
Walking by a high-rise to a landmark square
You see millions of people with millions of cares
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
I look at the people as they sit there alone


[Chorus]

[Am7] 
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[F] 
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[Am7] 
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
[G] 
Searching for the change I've lost somehow
These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know


[Bridge]

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know


[Chorus]

[Am7] 
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[F] 
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[Am7] 
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
[G] 
Searching for the change I've lost somehow


[Bridge]

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know


[Outro]

These streets have too many names for me
I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in our Orchy
I'll get used to this eventually
I know, I know 

I know, I know
