[Verse 1]

Fm
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, a famous writer
        Ab11    Ab7
in the  nineteen-       twenties.


Db
When you’re young you find inspiration
        Gb6
in              anyone who’s ever gone
Cb
        and opened up a closing door.
Abm             Abm7           Ab
        She said we were ne     -       ver feeling bored.

[Chorus]

        Amaj7
    ‘Cause we were never        being boring,
    B           G#m            C#m7
        we had too much time to find for ourselves.
        Amaj7
    And we were never   being boring,
    B           G#m            C#m7
        we dressed up and       fought, then thought, make amends.
        Amaj7   G#m7
    And we were never   holding back, or        worried that
    F#m7        Emaj7
    time would come to an end.

[Verse 2]

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 and nothing to care for
        Ab11    Ab7
in the  nineteen-       seventies.”


Db
        But I sat back, and looking forward,
        Gb6
my              shoes were high, and I had scored.
Cb
        I’d bolted through a closing door,
Abm             Abm7           Ab
        and I would never find          myself feeling bored.

[Chorus] 

        Amaj7
    ‘Cause we were never        being boring,
    B           G#m            C#m7
        we had too much time to find for ourselves.
        Amaj7
    And we were never   being boring,
    B           G#m            C#m7
        we dressed up and       fought, then thought, make amends.
        Amaj7   G#m7
    And we were never   holding back, or        worried that
    F#m7        B
    time would come to an end.
        Amaj7   G#m7
    We were always      hoping that,    looking back
        F#m7    Emaj7
    you could   always rely on a friend.

[Verse 3]

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
        Ab11    Ab7
in the  nineteen-       nineties.


Db
        I never dreamt that I would get to be
Gb6
                the creature that I always meant to be.
Cb
        But I thought, in spite of dreams,
Abm     Abm7           Ab
you’d be sitting some   -       where here with me.

[Chorus]

        Amaj7
    ‘Cause we were never        being boring,
    B           G#m            C#m7

        Amaj7

        we dressed up and       fought, then thought, make amends.
        Amaj7   G#m7
    And we were never   holding back, or        worried that
    F#m7        B
    time would come to an end.
        Amaj7   G#m7
    We were always      hoping that,    looking back
        F#m7    Emaj7
    you could   always rely on a friend.
