Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]One day I got an email from
[E]my manager in
London
That [Am]said who the bloody hell is
David
[F]Turner
An[C]d a smile came across my face [E]as I
was taken back to the good old days
An[Am]d I asked her how
she even knew that [F]name
[C]Said that you had found her somehow
[E]And asked her to give me your details
[Am]A message to pass on to me
When [F]is
Georgie gonna write that song [C]for me?
The one [E]she promised me when
we were seven[Am]teen
[F]When is
Georgie gonna write that [G]song [C]for me?
The one [E]she promised me when
we were seven[Am]teen[F]
But [C]the story starts and we
were both [Am]just five [E]years old
Running round with our running [Am]noses
Playing six and stones
[F]The
Italian kids would call us skips
An[C]d we sat across the table
[E]I think the teacher's name was
Miss
Abra[Am]hams, but maybe I got [F]it wrong
I didn't know you had a crush on [C]me,
till I [E]was seventeen
I didn't know you [Am]had a
crush on me, [F]no
And the [C]wall[G] s of[Am] old
St.
[F]Charles
One [C]day they [G]will crumble an[Am]d fall
You [C]will [G]stay in [Am]my memory the s[F]ame
Your smile [C]will [G]never go awa[C]y
And then I saw you stand in the
West[E]side station
Felt like a lifetime [Am]later
I'd become a punk by then
And [F]you were hanging around with
your hip -hop gangs
[C]Listening to
Tupac and
Biggie
It [E]was before
Pop
Daddy became
P.
Diddy
And your favorite [Am]song was the
one he ripped off [F]the police
Every breath I [C]take
But I preferred to listen [E]to
Nirvana
I had three pairs of
Doc
[Am]Martens on my clothes
We ripped [F]ahead,
those silly red extensions in my [C]hair
You didn't [E]care,
you saw straight through it all
[Am]You knew exactly who I w[F]as
And in our [C]teenage worlds
ruled [E]by subcultures
It didn't make no [Am]sense
[F]for us to be friends
But we started [C]hanging around
every [E]day anyway
Hanging [Am]around the station,
bumming [F]cigarettes from strangers
And [C]I had that stoned boyfriend,
[E]I think his name was
Paul
He pulled [Am]me close to you that night
and kissed [F]be hind the wall
He didn't see us [C]from the balcony
We were [E]lucky and so fucking [Am]cheeky
We [F]were only seventeen
And the [C]wall[G] s of[Am] old
[F]St.
Charles
One [C]day they [G]will crumble an[Am]d fall
You [C]will [G]stay in [Am]my memory the s[F]ame
Your [C]smile [G]will never go [C]away[Am][C][G][Am]
[Dm][C][G][Am][G][C][G]
[Am][Dm][C][G][C]
But now suddenly it's [E]2015
So I could easily just
[Am]Type your name into
Facebook and I [F]guess I'd find you instantly
[Fm]And I co[C]uld send you a little
message saying,
[E]Hey, stranger have you been?
[Am]But that all seems so impersonal
And I thought [F]that you deserved
[Fm]a little mor[C]e
So instead I'm sitting down
[E]to finally write this son[Am]g
I know it's kinda long
[F]And I hav[Fm]en't even covered hal[C]f of it
But I hope it makes you smile
[E]The way I do when I think of [Am]you
And most of all,
I [F]hope you'll miss me [Fm]too[E][F]
And [C]the [G]walls [Am]of old
[F]St.
Charles
Won't [C]be [G]crumbling [Am]fall
You [C]will [G]stay in [Am]our memory the [F]same
Your [C]smile [G]will never go away
[C]And the wal[G]ls of [Am]old
[F]St.
Charles
One [C]day they [G]will crumble and [Am]fall
You [C]will [G]stay in our [Am]memory the same
[F]Your [C]smile [G]will never go away
[C]And the [G]walls of [Am]old
[F]St.
Charles
One [C]day they [G]will crumble and [Am]fall
You [C]will [G]stay in [Am]my memory the s[F]ame
Your [C]smile [G]will never go away
[C]And the walls of [G]old[Am]
[F]St.
Charles
One [C]day they [G]will crumble and [Am]fall
You [C]will [G]stay in [Am]my memory the s[F]ame,
your [C]smile [G]will never go [C]away.
