Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

It was 2004 if I'm not mistake, when the poison hit my lips

And I haven't looked back since

I had friends back then and a PMA to match,

we were young and out of touch with the things we'd grow up to hate so much,

 in time.

Back when my hair was long and Phil was still alive

 We spent our days trying to speak, to the girls that left us weak

But now I'm ageing badly and my friends' been laid to rest

 And the ones who let us in are pushing prams or raising twins.

 To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city

I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.

In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known

 And the places I called home

But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind

Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.

Lee and me were schooled in a tourist town

 With less culture than Jeremy Kyle

But it stole our hearts for a while

 And most weekends I found nothing but regret

 Between many a drunk girls' legs

And in many a strangers' bed.

 To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city

I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.

In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known

 And the places I called home

But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind

Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.

Enjoy!
