F#m
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 F7+
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
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

Bb Am
And we were never holding back or worried that
Gm F7+
Time would come to an end
Bb Am
We were always hoping that, looking back
Gm F7+
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
