Capo on 6th fret
G Em
It was 2004 if I'm not mistake, when the poison hit my lips
D C
And I haven't looked back since
G Em
I had friends back then and a PMA to match,
D C
we were young and out of touch with the things we'd grow up to hate so much,
G
in time.
G Em D C
G Em
Back when my hair was long and Phil was still alive
D C
We spent our days trying to speak, to the girls that left us weak
G Em
But now I'm ageing badly and my friends' been laid to rest
D C
And the ones who let us in are pushing prams or raising twins.

G
To tell you the truth I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate the city
D Em C G
I need the pier and the fresh sea air of the town that made me.
C G D C
In my heart and in my soul are all the people that I've known
G D
And the places I called home
C G D C
But in my head and in my mind they're all just things I left behind
C G D C
Reminders of the changing times, and these ageing bones of mine.
G Em D C
G Em
Lee and me were schooled in a tourist town
C
With less culture than Jeremy Kyle
D C
But it stole our hearts for a while
G Em
And most weekends I found nothing but regret
C
Between many a drunk girls' legs
D C
And in many a strangers' bed.
