And all the houses in the street
Gm 
have got a name
D

'Cause all the houses in the street
Gm 
they look the same
A

Same chimney pots, same little cars,
same window panes
D 
G 
The neighbors call to tell you things
Gm 
that you should know
D 
G 
They say their lines, they drink their tea,
Gm 
and then they go
A 
They tell your business
D 
in another Shangri- la
D 
The gas bills and the water rates,
G 
Gm 
and payments on the car

Too scared to think about
G

how insecure you are

Life ain't so happy

in your little Shangri- la
