F#m
I came across a cache of old photos
Em7
and invitations to teenage parties
F#m
Dress in white one said with quotations
Em7
from someone’s wife,
G/A A
a famous writer 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 A
She said we were never feeling bored
Bb C
‘Cos we were never being boring
Am7 Dm
We had too much time to find for ourselves
Bb C
And we were never being boring
Am7 Dm
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
Bb Am7
And we were never holding back or worried that
Gm7 Fmaj7
time would come to an end
When I went I left from the station
with a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said if you’re not careful you’ll have nothing left
and nothing to care for in the nineteen-seventies
But I sat back and looking forward,
my shoes were high and I had scored
I’d bolted through a closing door
and I would never find myself feeling bored
Bb C
‘Cos we were never being boring
Am7 Dm
We had too much time to find for ourselves
Bb C
And we were never being boring
Am7 Dm
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
Bb Am7
And we were never holding back or worried that
Gm7 C
time would come to an end
Bb Am7
We were always hoping that, looking back
Gm7 Fmaj7
you could always rely on a friend
Em7 Fmaj7 x2
Now I sit with different faces in rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing
in the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
the creature I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams, you’d be sitting her with me
‘Cos we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend
Bb C
And we were never being boring
Am7 Dm
We were never being bored
Bb C
‘Cos we were never being boring
Am7 Dm
We were never feeling bored
Bb Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7
