Verse
B G#m F#
Use a pen to reflect
E
what you've got left to protect
G#m F# E
on the old dusty shelves
in your childhood room
B G#m F#
you've got a lot to go on:
E
posters of Simon LeBon
G#m F# E
all might help you decide
In case you ever try
B G#m F#
They just want you to come by
E
The florist in foam
G#m F# E
A rigid folk's home in time that I might cry
F# E B
Cut all these ties you'll see
A
How far apart we are

No two of us sees or acts alike

Another guitar plays about with B string playing open, 4th and 5th frets
Repeat verse chords for second verse

You've got the words to defend

Remember that we all knew
Riding big wheels was cool
We'd give it all to be that dumb again
E
F# E B
These are all bonds and ties
A
In spite of what they are

Cut all these ties you'll see
