Intro 
D 



I think back on all those weekends 
               G 
When I'd lose track then fall asleep and 
          Bm             A                G 
Wake up drinking out of mugs with vimto stains 
          D 
On your chair sat in the corner 
                G 
You'd say the weather’s getting warmer 
      Bm             A             G 
Then we’d go out to fly our paper planes 


 
   G 
I wonder what you'd think if you could see me now 



        D                                G 
So I'll wear the boots you bought me when I was 15 
     Bm                                G 
And hope that you'd be proud of who I turned out to be 



          D 
Six years on, I still remember 
      G 
That day in mid December 
    Bm                A              G 
Dad sat me down with red around his eyes 
             D 
It had been weeks since I’d last seen you 
              G 
Kissed your cheeks, said "I'll be back soon" 
          Bm               A              G 
'Cause I thought we had a little bit more time 



 G 
What would it be like if you were still around? 



        D                                 G 
So I'll wear the boots you bought me when I was 15 
     Bm                                G 
And hope that you'd be proud of who I turned out to be 



            Em 
I’ll steal bread from the kitchen 
           Bm 
Chase my sisters round the garden 
 D                 A             G 
Trampling on the flowers on the lawn 
        Em 
You'll never see me graduate 
   Bm 
Or any of our wedding days 
D                Bm           G 
I don’t want to grow up on my own 



        D                                 G 
So I'll wear the boots you bought me when I was 15 
     Bm                                G 
And hope that you'd be proud of who I turned out to be 
              D                             G 
But all the things I wish I told you I'll never get to say 
         Bm                            G 
And you won't get to meet the man that I am today 



     D 
Now with every passing Christmas 
           G 
I feel so low and I can't fix it 
   Bm            A             G 
I wish I was back at your house again 
          D 
Now I'm older and I'm taller 
          G 
And the weather's getting warmer 
    Bm            A            G 
So I'll go out to fly my paper planes
