Well we were born within an hour of each other.
     F
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
               Bb                Bb
Your name is Deborah.  Deborah. It never suited you.
          F
And they said that when we grew up, 
  F
We'd get married and never split up.
          Bb               Bb
Oh, we never did, although I often thought of it

[Pre-Chorus]
                     Cm
Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With woodchip on the wall,
                          Cm2
And when i came round to call,
                           F
You didn't notice me at all

[Chorus]                              
And I said, 
Bb
Lets all meet up in the year 2000.
Dm                                        Gm
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
                            Cm               F
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
Bb
I never knew that you'd get married, 
Dm                                 Gm
I would be living down here on my own.   
                          Cm            F
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago

[Verse 2]
You were the first girl in school to get breasts.
Martin said that you were the best.
Ohh the boys all loved you, but I was a mess!
I had to watch them try to get you undressed.
We were friends that was as far as it went.
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant;
Oh it meant nothing to you
Cos you were, oh so popular

[Pre-Chorus]
                     Cm
Oh Deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small,

With woodchip on the wall,
                          Cm2,
And when i came round to call
                           F
You didn't notice me at all . . . . 

[Chorus]
And i said, 
Bb
Lets all meet up in the year 2000.
Dm                                        Gm
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
                            Cm               F
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
Bb
