It was 2004 if I'm not mistaken, when the poison hit my lips
         D                C
And I haven't looked back since
G                                       C
I had friends back then and a PMA to match,
                         Em             D                            C
we were young and out of touch with the things we'd grow up to hate so much,
      G
in time.

G, C, G, C

 G                                            C
Back when my hair was long and Phil was still alive
                            Em             D                 C
We spent our days trying to speak, to the girls that left us weak
G                                                     C
But now I'm ageing badly and my friends' been laid to rest
                        Em              D              C
And the ones who let us in are pushing prams or raising twins.

   D                         Em             D                  C
To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city
  D                     Em         D            C
I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.

Em, D (Tricky timing here, listen to the song to get it right)

C     G               D                Em     D              C
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
C        G             D
And the places I’ve called home
C         G              D                     Em       D          C
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
C         G               D
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.

Lee and me were schooled in a tourist town
                              Em
With less culture than Jeremy Kyle
       D                      C
But it stole our hearts for a while
    G                                     C
And most weekends I found nothing but regret
                      Em
Between many a drunk girls' legs
       D                 C
And in many a strangers' bed.

   D                         Em             D                  C
To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city
  D                     Em         D            C
I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.

Em    D
  Who I am.

C     G               D                Em     D              C
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
C        G             D
And the places I’ve called home
C         G              D                     Em       D          C
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
C         G               D
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.

Em, C, Em, C

The one’s who haven’t died or started families
                     G                               D
Are all just working building sites or battling with university fees
      Em                          C
And a girl I used to know made me promise once
                Am       G         F
I wonder if she kept it,

C, G, D

   Em     D       C       G      D
or if she even remembers it.

C     G               D                Em     D              C
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
C        G             D
And the places I’ve called home
C         G              D                     Em       D          C
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
C         G               D
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.
