D5
Fifteen-year-old Francis

   Em7
We need to have a word

  Cadd9
I know because I remember

         Cadd9
That you cannot stand The Verve

            D5
But Richard Ashcroft had a point

        Em7
Now I'm old enough to see

          Cadd9
There's a million different people

         Cadd9
You will be before you're me
[Chorus]
           G
I know I'm not

                                                Em7
Everything that you had hoped and imagined that I would be

             G
But I did my best

                                                            Em7
And I have seen things that you don't even know that you've never seen

                              Am7
We need to find some common ground

                          G/B
In the ruins that still stand

                   C
Between you and me   both of us want peace
N.C. Ceasefire [Instr] D5 Em7 Cadd9 [Verse 2]
    D5
I'm haunted by a ghost

    Em7
Who hides inside my body

Cadd9
Raging, rattling chains

Cadd9
Fifteen year old me

   D5
He judges my decisions

   Em7
He scorns what I've become

        Cadd9
And the hatred that consumes me

Cadd9
Starts and ends with him
[Chorus]
           G
I know I'm not

                                                Em7
Everything that you had hoped and imagined that I would be

             G
But I did my best

                                                            Em7
And I have seen things that you don't even know that you've never seen

                              Am7
We need to find some common ground

                          G/B
In the ruins that still stand

                   C
Between you and me   both of us want peace
N.C. Ceasefire [Instr] Dsus2 Dsus2/C Dsus2/B Dsus2/C x2 [Bridge]
(Dsus2/C)
  Then I came

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
to             clutching a paper

Dsus2          Dsus2/C
map            tattered and full of

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
holes          wandering through the

Dsus2/A             Dsus2/E
ruins of North East London, and I

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
suspect     if somehow I could

Dsus2          Dsus2/C
hold      this map up to the

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
sun        I'd somehow find new

Dsus2/A              Dsus2/E
words written in the backstreets, and just

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
perhaps     if I could stitch

Dsus2          Dsus2/C
together    my evenings and my

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
weekends like  cells within a

Dsus2/A                  Dsus2/E                G
film they'd tell you the story that you need to hear
[Chorus]
     G/F#                                            Em7            Cadd9
That everything that you had hoped and imagined that you would be

               G
Might not work out

       G/F#                                                Em7           Cadd9
You'll find yourself stuck in the ruins with maps that you cannot read

                       Am7                   G/B
So come now let's make peace between you and me

                    C
I can't leave you behind, you're always on my mind

              Am7                      G/B
This is ridiculous, I cannot live like this

              C
Undone, undiagnosed, begging forgiveness of a ghost
