[Intro]
Bm A G (x2)
[Verse 1]
Bm
When you were younger
A
Blue eyed boy wonder
G [Riff]
Never used to ponder on what life may hide
Bm
Now you`re older
A
The nights are so much colder
G
Never even told her how you feel inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A
You were so proud with your head up in the white clouds
G
She`d call you so loud but you`d never know
Bm A
Now that you`re wiser you`d never compromise her
G
Every day you`d realise her but this bird has flown
[Chorus]
D A G
And you`ve blown out all your candles one by one
Bm A G Bm A G Bm A G
And you curse yourself for things you never done
[Verse 2]
Bm
She would wait for you
A
Idolise adore you
G
Love and reassure you, you couldn`t let it be
Bm
You let it linger
A
Slip on through your fingers
G
So that September she moved across the sea
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A
How your face drops and how your heart stopped
G
Sitting at the bus stop when they told you that she`d gone
Bm A
So you run to the harbour to tell her that you love her
G
As the boat disappears you never felt so alone
[Chorus]
D A G
And you`ve blown out all your candles one by one
Bm A G
And you curse yourself for things you never done
D A G
Where were you when her hour of need had come?
Bm A G
Now you curse yourself for things you never done
[Verse 3]
Bm
Now your grandson
A
Blonde-haired blue-eyed handsome
G
Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why
Bm
So your answer
A
Don`t be scared of failure
G N.C.
The only failure is never to try
Bm A G Bm A G Bm A G Bm A G
......never to try....never to try........never to try
[Outro]
D A G
And where were you when her hour of need had come?
Bm A G Bm A G
Now you curse yourself for things you never done
