I came across a cache of old photos
Em
And invitations to teenage parties
F#m
"Dress in white" one said, with quotations
Em
From someone's wife, a famous writer
G/A A7
In the nineteen-twenties
D
When you're young you find inspiration
G6
In anyone who's ever gone
C
And opened up a closing door
Am
She said: "We were never feeling bored
Bb
'Cause we were never being boring
C Am Dm
We had too much time to find for ourselves
Bb
And we were never being boring e-chords.com
C Am Dm
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
Bb Am
And we were never holding back or worried that
Gm F7M
Time would come to an end"
F#m
When I went I left from the station
Em
With a haversack and some trepidation
F#m
Someone said: "If you're not careful
Em
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
G/A A7
In the nineteen-seventies"
D
But I sat back and looking forward
G6
My shoes were high and I had scored
C
I'd bolted through a closing door
Am A
I would never find myself feeling bored

'Cause we were never being boring
C Am Dm
We had too much time to find for ourselves
Bb
And we were never being boring

We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
Bb Am
And we were never holding back or worried that
Gm F7M
Time would come to an end
Bb Am
We were always hoping that, looking back
Gm F7M
You could always rely on a friend
F#m
Now I sit with different faces
Em
In rented rooms and foreign places
F#m
All the people I was kissing
Em
Some are here and some are missing
G/A A7
In the nineteen-nineties
D
I never dreamt that I would get to be
G6
The creature that I always meant to be
C
But I thought in spite of dreams
Am A
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
