As recorded by Madness (From the 1984 Album KEEP MOVING) [Intro] Bb [Verse 1]
Eb                                  Bb
It's been some time since the smile upon my face

Ab
Had I sneaked previewing town

     Bb
It's been a while since I gave chase

F                                  C
It's been some time since the girl from round my way

Bb
Came and took me by the hand

C                Db
Been a long time since I came around

Eb                    Bb
I can remember when I stood on my head

Ab
Walking straight across the ground

      Bb
Still picture their laughing faces
[Chorus]
F         Eb                  Ab   G
Catch me, I'm falling into my past

F             Eb                    Ab    G
Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh
[Verse 2]
Eb                          Bb
I was told to grow up soon, face my consequences

Ab                           Bb
Being told it was high time, high time to come to my senses

F                             C
Climbing up to the top floor, stood the look of pleasure

Bb                    C             Db
Such a silly aged man with an attic full of treasure
[Chorus]
G         F                   Bb   A
Catch me, I'm falling into my past

G           F                     Bb    A
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
[Interlude] Eb Bb Ab Bb Eb Bb Ab Bb B [Bridge]
Db                       Ebm7
Remember when I was ten, things were somewhat better then

Db                         Gb
Time went by so easily, is this the way life's supposed to be?

    Db                           Ebm
But looking back I wonder why it seems to pass so quickly by

Db                           Gb                               Eb
Memories can make you cry, I close my eyes, my tears I try to hide
[Verse 3]
Eb                  Bb
I was thinking about Tamer Lane

Ab
Of all the funny places

Bb
I was thinking, a short time ago
[Chorus]
F         Eb                  Ab   G
Catch me, I'm falling into my past

F             Eb                    Ab    G
Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh

          F                   Bb   A
Catch me, I'm falling into my past

F           Eb                    Ab    G
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh
