GCEm
It was 2004 if I'm not mistaken, when the poison hit my lips
DC
And I haven't looked back since
GC
I had friends back then and a PMA to match,
EmDC
we were young and out of touch with the things we'd grow up to hate so much,
G
in time.
G, C, G, CGC
Back when my hair was long and Phil was still alive
EmDC
We spent our days trying to speak, to the girls that left us weak
GC
But now I'm ageing badly and my friends' been laid to rest
EmDC
And the ones who let us in are pushing prams or raising twins.
DEmDC
To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city
DEmDC
I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.
Em, D (Tricky timing here, listen to the song to get it right)
CGDEmDC
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
CGD
And the places I’ve called home
CGDEmDC
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
CGD
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.
G, C, G, CGC
Lee and me were schooled in a tourist town
Em
With less culture than Jeremy Kyle
DC
But it stole our hearts for a while
GC
And most weekends I found nothing but regret
Em
Between many a drunk girls' legs
DC
And in many a strangers' bed.
DEmDC
To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city
DEmDC
I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.
EmD
Who I am.
CGDEmDC
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
CGD
And the places I’ve called home
CGDEmDC
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
CGD
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.
Em, C, Em, CEmC
The one’s who haven’t died or started families
GD
Are all just working building sites or battling with university fees
EmC
And a girl I used to know made me promise once
AmGF
I wonder if she kept it,
C, G, DEmDCGD
or if she even remembers it.
CGDEmDC
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
CGD
And the places I’ve called home
CGDEmDC
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
CGD
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.
C, G, D, Em, D, C
