[Em][C#dim][C#m]

[Verse 1]
I came across [C#m]a cache of old photos
[D]And invitations to teenage parties
[C#m]Dress in white one said, with quotations
[D]From someones wife, a famous writer
In the [Bm]nineteen- [E]twenties[A]
When youre young you find inspiration
[Bm]In a[D]nyon[Bm]e wh[D]os ever gone[Bm]
[G]And opened up a closing door
[Em]She said: we were never
feeling bored
[E]

[Verse 2]
cause [Em]we were never be[F] ing b[G]oring
We had too much [Em]time to find
for [Am]ourselves
And we were never be[F]ing boring
[G]We dressed up and fou[Em]ght,
then thought: make [Am]amends
And we were never [F]holding
back or [Em]worried that
[Dm]Time would come to [C]an
[Em]end[C][Em][C#m]

[Verse 3]
When I went [C#m]I left from the station
[D]With a haversack and some trepidation
[C#m]Someone said: if youre not careful
Youll [D]have nothing left
and nothing to care for
In the [Bm]nineteen- [E]seventies
[A]But I sat back and looking forward
[Bm]My shoes were high and
[D]I had s[Bm]cored
[G]Id bolted through a closing doo[Em]r
I would never find myself feeling bored
[E]

[Verse 4]
[Em]cause we were never be i[F]ng borin[G]g
We had too much [Em]time to find
for [Am]ourselves
And we were never [F]being boring
[G]We dressed up and fou[Em]ght,
then thought: make [Am]amends
And we were never [F]holding
back or [Em]worried that
[Dm]Time would come to [G]an end
[Em]We were always h[F]oping that, lo[Em]oking back
You could [Dm]al ways rely on a[Em]
[D]fri[Em]end[D][Em][B][C#m]

[Verse 5]
Now I sit with [C#m]different faces
[D]In rented rooms and foreign [C#m]places
All the people I was kissing
[D]Some are here and some are missing
In the [Bm]nineteen- [E]nineties[A]
I never dreamt that I would get to be
[D]The[Bm] creature tha[D]t I
always [Bm]meant to [G]be
But I thought in spite of dreams
[Em]Youd be sitting somewhere
here with me
[E]

[Verse 6]
cause [Em]we were never be[F] ing b[G]oring
We had too much [Em]time to
find for ourselves
[Am]And we were never be i[F]ng boring
[G]We dressed up and[Em] fought,
then thought: make [Am]amends
And we were never [F]holding
back [Em]or worried that
[Dm]Time would come to [G]an end
[Em]We were al[G]ways h[F]oping that,
[Em]looking back
You could [Dm]always rely on a [Em]friend
And [C]we were never be

[Verse 7]
[F]ing boring
We had too much time
to find [G]for ourselves
And we were never [Em]being boring
We dressed up and [Am]fought, then
thought: make amends
And we were never [F]be ing [G]boring
We were [Em]never being [Am]bored
cause we were never [F]being
[Em]boring[Dm][Em]
We were never [F]being bored
