I came across a cache of old photos
MIm7
and invitations to teenage parties
FA#m
Dress in white one said with quotations
MIm7
from someone’s wife,
SOL/LA LA
a famous writer in the nineteen-twenties
RE
When you’re young you find inspiration
SOL6
in anyone who’s ever gone
DO
And opened up a closing door
LAm LA
She said we were never feeling bored
SIb DO
‘Cos we were never being boring
LAm7 REm
We had too much time to find for ourselves
SIb DO
And we were never being boring
LAm7 REm
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
SIb LAm7
And we were never holding back or worried that
SOLm7 FAmaj7
time would come to an end
When I went I left from the station
with a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said if you’re not careful you’ll have nothing left
and nothing to care for in the nineteen-seventies
But I sat back and looking forward,
my shoes were high and I had scored
I’d bolted through a closing door
and I would never find myself feeling bored
SIb DO
‘Cos we were never being boring
LAm7 REm
We had too much time to find for ourselves
SIb DO
And we were never being boring
LAm7 REm
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
SIb LAm7
And we were never holding back or worried that
SOLm7 DO
time would come to an end
SIb LAm7
We were always hoping that, looking back
SOLm7 FAmaj7
you could always rely on a friend

Now I sit with different faces in rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing
in the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
the creature I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams, you’d be sitting her with me
‘Cos we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend
SIb DO
And we were never being boring
LAm7 REm
We were never being bored
SIb DO
‘Cos we were never being boring
LAm7 REm
We were never feeling bored
