In a duffle coat
              Ab
By the garden fence
              Fm       
In a picture with his mum
    Gm         
He shields the bright sun
         Bb/C
From his tired face
                  Gm/C
He winds the film on
            Ab
With his finger
               Fm            
To the last one on the roll
          Gm
There's a moment
             Bb   
When he sees her
D/F#                        Csus2  G
Standing by the washing pole

F                   C
God willing I will love this day
F                   C
I've been giving my past away
     Eb  Gm/D              Cm
Now I'm living with the best of me
Bb    Ab       Gm        F
And a picture of what used to be
            Gm/C
Going for a bite
             Ab
In the local cafe
                Fm
Dreaming of the future
   Gm             Bb/C     
Unsure of what it held for me
               Gm/C
Hopping off of school
                  Ab
To sit around and write
                 Fm  
While my parents went to work
       Gm
Didn't fancy that
      Bb
I was learning
D/F#                     Csus2  G   
While they didn't notice me

F                   C

Now I'm living with the best of me
Bb    Ab      Gm         F
And a picture of what used to be
         C/E
The routemaster and the driver
F         C/E
Pass the news stand on the corner
Am                    Cm
Selling the Standard and the News
               Bb
It's a memory I won't lose

          Gm/C
In the morning
             Ab
I would wake up
              Fm
The guitar beside my bed
Gm                 Bb/C
Untouched since I fell asleep
                   Gm/C
Spinning round and round
              Ab
Every single sound
               Fm
Getting to the core of me
 Gm                      Bb
Staying with me to this day
        D/F#                  Csus2  G  
There's nothing that I would change

F                   C
God willing I will love this day

I've been giving my past away
