[Intro] B  F#7/B  G#m/B  F#7/B

B        F#7/A#      G#m       F#
Looking back at white and black, reminders of my past
B       F#7/A#      G#m
Smoky bars and cheap guitars, but nothing built to
F#
Last

F#     E     E       B
Nothing ever stays, nothing comes to mind
F#     G#m     E
No one can erase, the days we left be-

B   F#    E         E
Hind

B         F#7/A#     G#m      F#
See the boys of Dungeon Lane, along the Mersey shore
B         F#7/A#
Some of them will feel the pain, but
G#m       F#
Some were meant for more, and

F#     E      E     B
Nothing stays the same, no one needs to cry
F#     G#m      E
Nothing can reclaim, the days we left be-
B
Hind

G#m        D#m
We met at Forthlin Road, and wrote a secret code
G#m         D#m
To never be spoken
B          F#
I stand by what I said, the promise that I made
E         F#
Will never be broken

F#     E     E       B
Nothing ever stays, nothing comes to mind, and
F#     G#m     E
No one can erase, the days we left be-
B   F#    E         E
Hind

B          F#7/A#       G#m       F#
In the skies the skylarks rise, above the sounds of war
B          F#7/A#     G#m
Since that day I knew they’d stay, with me forever-
F#
More, 'cause F#        E        E        B
Nothing stays the same, and no one needs to cry, and
F#     G#m      E      B
No one is to blame, for the days we left behind
