Frank Turner – East Finchley (Guitar)

          Fmaj7      C           G             Am
When they put up the barriers at East Finchley underground

       Fmaj7      C           G
At the end of the tunnel that led to your road

     Fmaj7      C            G         Am
They cut off my route to the only safe place I'd found

   Fmaj7        C               G        C
It cost money I didn't have for me to go home

    G7                 C             Fmaj7      Fadd9  C
And weren't you just a vision in the summer of '97?

Fmaj7        C            G/B   Am         C                                G
Sixteen and shaking with anticipation in a world in which we still could be anything

    G7      C                Fmaj7     Fadd9     C
And I was a visionary always making my plans and always so very

Fmaj7              C                   G/B                  Am
Convinced of their greatness, saying I know you're going to hate this

    C                              Gsus4     G
But today we jump a train and go adventuring

                    Dm     C   Gsus4  G
If I followed those tracks

                   Dm     C   Gsus4
Would they take me back?

G                 C                    Fmaj7        Fadd9          C
When did all that change? When did the world get so hostile, start feeling so strange?

  Fmaj7         C             G/B           Am       C                     G
I never stopped shirking, you never started working, somehow we never grew up to be

G7             C       Fmaj7       Fadd9        C
Responsible commuters, lost in the crowd, glued to their computers

  Fmaj7        C               G/B            Am
Enduring their journeys, their thoughts never turning

   C                               Gsus4       G
To futures they'd decided were not meant to be

                    Dm     C  Gsus4  G
If I followed those tracks

                   Dm    C  Gsus4  G
Would they take me back?

                Dm                     C                           Em
If I jumped the barriers they put up between us when I got off the train

              Dm     C  Gsus4  G
Could I start again?

Am             Dm               C                Em              Fmaj7
Who could have dreamed that our lives would have turned out like this?

Am        Dm           C          Em               Fmaj7
I used to need to tell Jesus what happened when we kissed

    Am        Dm          C          Em       Fmaj7
How can you accept that decisions cannot be unmade?

Am                   Dm               C        Em        Fmaj7
If we followed those tracks, would we remember how to be brave?

          Fmaj7        C           G             Am
Well they put up those barriers at East Finchley underground

       Fmaj7      C           G
At the end of the tunnel that led to your road

          Fmaj7      C            G               Am
But these days I buy tickets, and I don't see you around

        Fmaj7           C               G         C
And the place where you used to live is no longer home
