      C
Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees

                                      Fmaj7
my hands are black the sun is going down

      C
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam

                                         Fmaj7
She's listening to the dream I weaved today

C
Crosswords through the bathroom door

                                              Fmaj7
while someone sings the theme-tune to the news

         C
and my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air

      Fmaj7
and that's what triggered this.

                        C
I come back here from time to time

                   Fmaj7
I shelter here some days.

    C
A high-back chair. He sits and stares

                                          Fmaj7
A thousand yards and whistle's marching-band

C
Kneeling by and speaking up

                                      Fmaj7
He reaches out and I take a massive hand.

C
Disjointed tales that flit between

                                     Fmaj7
short trousers and a full dress uniform

         C
And he talks of people ten years gone  like I've known them all my life

       Fmaj7
Like scattered black 'n' whites....

                         C
I come back here from time to time

                 Fmaj7
I shelter here some days.

                        C
I come back here from time to time

            Fmaj7
I shelter here some days.

C Fmaj7
