Em* 022003 [Intro] |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# [Verse 1]
    Bm                   Em            Em*
The moon went behind a petro-chemical plant

A                        F#m   F#
I had a feeling I didn't understand

      Bm
I was shivering on crutches

     Em         Em*
More dead than alive

       A            F#m  F#
It was Christmas 1985

Bm           Em                Em*        A
  It was the night they let me out of the home

           F#m                F#        Bm
It was the night I caught the bus on my own

                                   Em
And the city slithered past the windows

       Em*                       A      F#m  F#
Like a film that was only just beginning

      Bm                  Em         Em*
I was so excited I nearly missed my stop

   A                         F#m        F#
It was quarter to ten, I was hopelessly lost

    Bm                         Em             Em*
I arrived pretty late, but you didn't seem to mind

   A                             F#m      F#
We are not the first, but we are golden tonight

     Bm                  Em          Em*
Like two little children under the covers

 A                           F#m       F#
Adrift in the night with the universe above us

    Bm                  Em         Em*
And I'll be the dad and you be the mum

          A                           F#m        F#
And we'll make out we know what it is that we've done

        Bm                  Em        Em*         A         F#m  F#
But whatever it is, I know, that it's only just beginning - yeah!
[Chorus]
Bm            G
Trying so, so hard

   A                     F#
To act just like a grown up

         Bm     G
And it's so, so hard

          A                              F#
And we're hoping that we don't get shown up

       N.C.                        Bm
'Cause everybody wants got to grow up
|(Bm) |Bm [Verse 2]
Bm                  Em        Em*
Finally part of the new generation

A                   F#m       F#
Finally part of the pub conversation

    Bm                      Em            Em*
And somehow this leads to mature life decisions

         A                        F#m       F#
Like the one that I heard of from Jeremy Sissons

                Bm
Who said he, he moved near the motorway

              Em            Em*
'Cause it was good for commuting

      A                              F#m              F#
And I laughed in his face because I, I thought he was joking

            Bm                         Em  Em*          A
But then I, I looked in his eyes and I saw - he was not joking

           F#m   F#
No, he was trying
[Chorus]
Bm            G
Trying so, so hard

   A                     F#
To act just like a grown up

         Bm     G
And it's so, so hard

          A                              F#
And we're hoping that we don't get shown up

       N.C.                    Bm
'Cause everybody's got to grow up

Bm         Bm             Bm
Everybody? - Are you sure?
[Bridge]
       A                A
So you move from Camden out to Hackney

         F#                      F#
And you stress about wrinkles instead of acne

   Bm              G
Forget about Tina, get in a bad mood

    E                  A                        A         Bm
And buy a computer and soon it will be time for some more food

(Bm)    Em  Em*  A    F#  F#m
        Uuh!     Yeah!

  Bm    Em  Em*  A    F#  F#m
A-aaa            Eeeh      Oooo!
[Instrumental] |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# |Bm |Em Em* |A |F#m F# [Verse 3]
Bm                     Em
  And later that first night

        Em*   A                               F#m
I had a dream that a new planet had been discovered

    F#                    Bm
And through powerful telescopes, we could see the inhabitants

Em         Em*                       A
  And they seemed to be having a really good time

      F#m            F#             Bm
So we built a rocket - and I was on it

                  Em                Em*
They put us in a state of suspended animation

        A                      F#m
For the duration of the journey

            F#                     Bm                  Em  Em*
And when we landed on this distant planet, we all woke up

         A
And discovered that we'd all lost our memory

F#m      F#                 Bm
  And we looked back at the planet we'd just come from

Em           Em*                             A
And everyone there seemed to be having a really good time

       F#m            F#
But we couldn't return

               Bm                            Em        Em*
Because the rocket no longer had enough fuel left in it

         A
Why am I telling you this story?

F#m         F#
  I don't remember
[Verse 4]
        Bm                    Em            Em*
Why did Mowgli decide to come out of the jungle?

        A                      F#m         F#
To play doctors and nurses and aunties and uncles

    Bm                            Em          Em*
And cavaliers and round heads and tarts and vicars

A                           F#m            F#
Playing all night to get in somebody's Knickers

    Bm                   Em          Em*
And I am not ageing, no, I am just ripening

    A                             F#m             F#
And life's too short to drink bad wine and that's frightening

    Bm                        Em                Em*
And it's nearly sunset and we haven't had lunch yet

        A                         F#m       F#
And I'm sorry for asking, but are we having fun yet?
[Chorus]
Bm            G
Trying so, so hard

   A                     F#
To act just like a grown up

         Bm     G
And it's so, so hard

          A                              F#
And we're hoping that we don't get shown up

       N.C.                 Bm
'Cause nobody wants to grow up
[Outro]
Bm               Bm                      Bm
  One last sunset, one final blaze of glory

           Bm
And I know it's all about the journey

        Bm                     Bm
Not the final destination, but what if you get travel sick

       Bm                    N.C.
Before you've even left the station?
