[Verse]
Fm I came across a cache of old photos Ebm7 And invitations to teenage parties Fm 'Dress in white' one said with quotations Ebm7 From someone’s wife, a famous writer Gb/Ab Ab7 In the nineteen-twenties
[Bridge]
C# When you’re young you find inspiration F#6 In anyone who’s ever gone B And opened up a closing door G#m | G# | % | She said we were never feeling bored
[Chorus]
A ‘Cos we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m We had too much time to find for ourselves A And we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m We dressed up and fought then thought "make amends" A G#m7 And we were never holding back or worried that F#m7 | Emaj7 | % | Time would come to an end
[Verse]
Fm When I went, I left from the station Ebm7 With a haversack and some trepidation Fm Someone said if you’re not careful Ebm7 You’ll have nothing left and nothing to care for Gb/Ab Ab7 In my nineteen-seventies
[Bridge]
C# But I sat back and looking forward F#6 My shoes were high and I had scored B I’d bolted through a closing door G#m | G# | % | I would never find myself feeling bored
[Chorus]
A ‘Cos we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m We had too much time to find for ourselves A And we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m We dressed up and fought then thought "make amends" A G#m7 And we were never holding back or worried that F#m7 B Time would come to an end A G#m7 We were always hoping that, looking back F#m7 Emaj7 You could always rely on a friend

[Verse]
Fm Now I sit with different faces Ebm7 In rented rooms and foreign places Fm All the people I was kissing Ebm7 Some are here and some are missing Gb/Ab Ab7 In the nineteen-nineties
[Bridge]
C# I never dreamt that I would get to be F#6 The creature I always meant to be B But I thought in spite of dreams G#m | G# | % | You’d be sitting somewhere her with me
[Chorus]
A ‘Cos we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m We had too much time to find for ourselves A And we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m We dressed up and fought then thought "make amends" A G#m7 And we were never holding back or worried that F#m7 B Time would come to an end A G#m7 We were always hoping that, looking back F#m7 Emaj7 You could always rely on a friend
[Outro]
A And we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m7 We were never being bored A ‘Cos we were never being boring B G#m7 C#m7 We were never being bored | A | G#m7 | F#m7 | Emaj7 | % | % | % | (fade out)
