[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][A][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[A]We use[D]d to meet
behind [Bm]your neigh[A]bour's house
[D]You made me promise
that [Bm]I'd n[A]ever tell
[D]We made up stories about [Bm]the old man
who [A]lived behind the door
[D]Why in all these years,
we'd [Bm]never ever seen him [A]go outside
Maybe when he was a [D]young man,
he was nervous,
with [F#]the whole world to please
He tried hard [Bm]at first, till he figured out,
[E]it only gave him further to
[D]fall[Bm][A][D][Bm]
[A]
[D]My mother told me that she [Bm]knew him
when [A]he was a child
[D]Alone in the schoolyard
with his [Bm]notebook and [A]an absent smile
[D]And she showed me pictures,
little chil[Bm]dren stand[A]ing in a line
[D]And he was the smallest one,
[Bm]with his eyes cast to [A]the ground
When he was a [D]young man,
he was nervous,
with [F#]the whole world to please
He tried hard [Bm]at first, till he figured out,
[E]it only gave him further to fall
So he took [D]all his trophies
and his accolades
[F#]and melted them down
Into a [Bm]sad, misshapen lump of gold
He [E]used to keep the door [D]ajar[Bm][A]
And [Em]then one night in mid -July
when [D]the street was still and quiet
I [Em]woke up in the [Bm]darkness,[A]
sirens blaring through the night
[Em]And my mother said
they did [D]everything they could
But they [Em]couldn't [Bm]hold [A]him back
No, but they [Em]couldn't [Bm]hold [A]him back
When he was a [D]young man,
he was nervous,
with the [F#]whole world to please
He tried hard [Bm]at first, till he figured out,
it [E]only gave him further to fall
When he was [D]a young man,
he was nervous,
with the [F#]whole world to please
He tried hard [Bm]at first, till he figured out,
it [E]only gave him further to fall
