Chords

[Verse 1]
C                        G
I had no cares in the 1990s

Em               D
I knew of no downfalls

C                                   G
Though war was breaking out all around me

Em                         D
My concerns were with prank calls

C
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek

G         Em                 D
Right in front of the older kids

C                                 G
When our self belief, our self belief

         Em                    A
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch

A
Cos now it feels like...
[Chorus]
C                 G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set

Em              D
And the more I give the less I get

C                 G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile

Em                     D
There's little here to miss...

             C
Bring back 1996

G           Em
Bring back 1996

D                               C
So hard to beat those teenage kicks

G            Em    D
Bring back 1996
[Verse 2]
C                                G
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's

Em                     D
We were building telescopes

C                                   G
And sugar filled the whole of my body

Em                   D
As I urged it on to grow

C
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek

G       Em                 D
Just to impress the older kids

C                                 G
When my self belief, my self belief

        Em                  A
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch

A
Cos now it feels like...
[Chorus]
C                 G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set

Em              D
And the more I give the less I get

C                 G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile

Em                     D
There's little here to miss...

             C
Bring back 1996

G           Em   A
Bring back 1996
[Bridge]
C                      G
Stop talking, stop talking

Em                     D
I need a lover not a friend tonight

C                   G
I'm leaving, I'm leaving

Em                       A
I'm not cut out for the modern life
[Outro] C Em G Bm x4 C G Em D x3
