[Intro 1]
[D][Gsus2][D][Gsus2][D][Gsus2][D][Gsus2][D]

[Verse 1]
It [D]was 2004 if I'm not mistaken,
when the [Gsus2]poison hit my li[Bm]ps
And I [A]haven't looked [G]back [Gsus2]since
I had [D]friends back then and a PMA to match,
[Gsus2]we were y[D]oun[Gsus2]g[G]
[Gsus2]And out of to[Bm]uch with the things[A] we'd grow to hate so much[D],[G]

[Interlude 1]
in time.
[D][Gsus2][D][Gsus2]

[Verse 2]
Back when my [D]hair was long and
Phil was still [Gsus2]alive
We spent our days trying to [Bm]speak,
to the [A]girls that left [G]us weak
But now I'm [D]ageing badly and
my friend's been laid to [Gsus2]rest
And the ones who [G]let [Bm]us in are
[A]pushing prams or rais[G]ing twins.

[Verse 3]
[A]To tell you the truth I'd be [Bm]lying if I said
I [Gsus2]didn't ha[G]te the c[Gsus2]ity[D]
I [A]need the pier and the fresh [Bm]sea air of the town
[G]that made me.[A]
[Bm][A]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[Gsus2]In my heart [D]and in my soul a[A]re all
the [Bm]people that [A]I've [Gsus2]known
And [D]the places I [A]called home
[G]But [Gsus2]in my head and [D]in my mind,
[A]they're all just thi[Bm]ngs I lef[A]t behind
[Gsus2]Reminders of the ch[D]anging times,[A]
and these ageing bones of [D]mine.

[Interlude 2]
[D][Gsus2][G][Gsus2][G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Lee and me were schooled in
a tourist [Gsus2]town
With less culture than [Bm]Jeremy Kyle
But [D]it stole [A]our hearts for a whi[G]le
And [D]most weekends I found nothing
but [Gsus2]regret
Between [G]many [Gsus2]a drunk g[Bm]irls legs
And [D]in [A]many [G]a strangers bed.

[Verse 6]
[A]To tell you the truth I'd [Bm]be lying [D]if I said I
[Gsus2]didn't ha[G]te [Gsus2]the city[D]
[A]I need the pier and [Bm]the fresh sea air of t[Gsus2]he town [G]that[Gsus2] made me,[A]
[D]who[Bm] I am[A].[G]

[Verse 7]
In my [D]heart and in my [A]soul are all
[Bm]the people that [A]I've k[G]nown
And [D]the places I [A]called [G]home
But in my [D]head and in my [A]mind
they're all just [Bm]things I [A]left behind
[G]Reminders[Gsus2] of the c[D]hanging times,[A]
and these ageing bones of [Bm]mine.

[Interlude 3]
[G][Bm][D][G]
The [Bm]one's

[Verse 8]
who haven't
died or started [G]families
Are all just working [D]on building
sites or battling with [A]university
And a [Bm]girl I used to know
made [D]me [G]a promise once
I wonder if she [Em]kep[D]
[C]t i[G]t[Gsus2][G][D][A]
Or [Bm]if sh[D]e ev[A]en rem[G]embers me
[D]In

[Verse 9]
[A]my [G]heart [D]and in my soul a[A]re all
[Bm]the people that [A]I've [G]known
[D]And the places I [A]called home
[G]But in my hea[D]d and in my min[A]d they're
all just thing[Bm]s I left beh[A]ind
[G]Reminders of [D]a changing tim[A]es,
and these ageing bones [G]of [D]mine.[A]
These [D]ageing bones of [G]mine.[D]
