Tom: D
D G Bm
It was 2004 if I'm not mistaken, when the poison hit my lips
A G
And I haven't looked back since
D G
I had friends back then and a PMA to match
Bm A G
We were young and out of touch with the things we'd grow up to hate so much
D
In time
( D G D G )
D G
Back when my hair was long and Phil was still alive
Bm A G
We spent our days trying to speak, to the girls that left us weak
D G
But now I'm ageing badly and my friends' been laid to rest
Bm A G
And the ones who let us in are pushing prams or raising twins
A Bm G D
To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city
A Bm G A
I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me
( Bm A )
G D A Bm A G
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
G D A
And the places I've called home
G D A Bm A G
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
G D A
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine
( D G D G )
D G
Lee and me were schooled in a tourist town
Bm
With less culture than Jeremy Kyle
A G
But it stole our hearts for a while
D G
And most weekends I found nothing but regret
Bm
Between many a drunk girls' legs
A G
And in many a strangers' bed
A Bm G D
To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city
A Bm G A
I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me
Bm A
Who I am
G D A Bm A G
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
G D A
And the places I've called home
G D A Bm A G
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
G D A
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine
( Bm G Bm G )
Bm G
The one's who haven't died or started families
D A
Are all just working building sites or battling with university fees
Bm G
And a girl I used to know made me promise once
Em D C
I wonder if she kept it
( G D A )
Bm A G D A
Or if she even remembers it
G D A Bm A G
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
G D A
And the places I've called home
G D A Bm A G
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
G D A
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine
