I came across a cache of old photos
Ebm
And invitations to teenage parties
Fm
'Dress in white' one said with quotations
Ebm
From someone's wife
F# Ab7
A famous writer in the nineteen twenties
C#
When you're young, you find inspiration
B7M
In anyone who's ever gone
B
And opened up a closing door
Abm Abm7 Ab
She said we were never feeling bored
A7M B
'Cause we were never being boring
Abm C#m7
We had too much time to find for ourselves
A7M B
And we were never being boring
Abm C#m7
We dressed up and fought, then thought, make amends
A7M
And we were never holding back
Abm7 F#m7 E7M
Or worried that time would come to an end
Fm
When I went, I left from the station
Ebm
With a haversack and some trepidation
Fm
Someone said, "If you're not careful
Ebm
You'll have nothing left
F# Ab7
And nothing to care for in the nineteen seventies"
C#
But I sat back and looking forward
B7M
My shoes were high and I had scored
B
I'd bolted through a closing door
Abm Abm7 Ab
And I would never find myself feeling bored
A7M B
'Cause we were never being boring
Abm C#m7
We had too much time to find for ourselves
A7M B
And we were never being boring
Abm C#m7
We dressed up and fought, then thought, make amends
A7M
And we were never holding back
Abm7 F#m7 B
Or worried that time would come to an end
A7M Abm7
We were always hoping that, looking back
F#m7 E7M
You could always rely on a friend

Fm
Now I sit with different faces
Ebm
In rented rooms and foreign places
Fm
All the people I was kissing
Ebm
Some are here and some are missing
F# Abm7
In the nineteen nineties
C#
I never dreamt that I would get to be
B7M
The creature that I always meant to be
B
But I thought in spite of dreams
Abm Abm7 Ab
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
A7M B
'Cause we were never being boring
Abm C#m7
We had too much time to find for ourselves
A7M B
And we were never being boring
Abm C#m7
We dressed up and fought, then thought, make amends
A7M
And we were never holding back
Abm7 F#m7 B
Or worried that time would come to an end
A7M Abm7
We were always hoping that, looking back
F#m7 E7M
You could always rely on a friend
A7M B
And we were never being boring
Abm C#m
We were never being bored
A7M B
'Cause we were never being boring
