Standard (EADGBE)

A♯ C Am7 Dm x2 A♯ Am7 Gm7 F7M

F♯m I came across a cache of old photos

 and Em7invitations to teenage parties

F♯m Dress in white one said with quotations

 from Em7someone’s wife,

 a famous writer in the nG/Aineteen-twAenties

D When you’re young you find inspiration

 inG6 anyone who’s ever gone

C And opened up a closing door

Am She said we were never feeling bAored

 ‘Cos we were never bA♯eing boring C

 We had too much tAm7ime to find for ourDmselves

 And we were never bA♯eing boring C

 We dressed up and fAm7ought then thought make aDmmends

 And we were never hA♯olding back or wAm7orried that

Gm7time would come to anF7M end

When I went I left from the station

with a haversack and some trepidation

Someone said if you’re not careful you’ll have nothing left

and nothing to care for in the nineteen-seventies

But I sat back and looking forward,

my shoes were high and I had scored

I’d bolted through a closing door

and I would never find myself feeling bored

 ‘Cos we were never bA♯eing boring C

 We had too much Am7time to find for ourDmselves

 And we were never bA♯eing boring C

 We dressed up and fAm7ought then thought make aDmmends

 And we were never hA♯olding back or wAm7orried that

Gm7time would come to an Cend

 We were always hA♯oping that, lAm7ooking back

 you could Gm7always rely on a F7Mfriend

Em7 F7M x2

Now I sit with different faces in rented rooms and foreign places

All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing

in the nineteen-nineties

I never dreamt that I would get to be

the creature I always meant to be

But I thought in spite of dreams, you’d be sitting her with me

‘Cos we were never being boring

We had too much time to find for ourselves

And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought then thought make amends

And we were never holding back or worried that

time would come to an end

We were always hoping that, looking back

you could always rely on a friend

 And we were never bA♯eing boring C

 We were nAm7ever being bDmored

 ‘Cos we were never bA♯eing boring C

 We were nAm7ever feeling bDmored

A♯ Am7 Gm7 F7M
