Intro : (Am) (Bb C Am Dm) 
         Bb Am Gm F7+ 
 
 
F#m 
I came across a cache of old photos  
 
Em 
And invitations to teenage parties  
 
F#m 
"Dress in white" one said, with quotations  
 
Em 
From someone's wife, a famous writer  
 
         G/A         A7           
In the nineteen-twenties  
 
D 
When you're young you find inspiration  
 
G6 
In anyone who's ever gone  
 
C 
And opened up a closing door  
 
Am 
She said: "We were never feeling bored  
 
 
                       Bb 
'Cause we were never being boring  
 
C                Am                 Dm 
We had too much time to find for ourselves  
 
                   Bb 
And we were never being boring  e-chords.com 
 
C                   Am                         Dm 
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"  
 
                    Bb              Am 
And we were never holding back or worried that  
 
Gm                     F7+ 
Time would come to an end"
  
 
F#m 
When I went I left from the station  
 
     Em 
With a haversack and some trepidation  
 
F#m 
Someone said: "If you're not careful  
 
        Em                     
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for  
 
             G/A      A7 
In the nineteen-seventies"  
 
D 
But I sat back and looking forward  
 
G6 
My shoes were high and I had scored  
 
C 
I'd bolted through a closing door  
 
Am                                  A 
I would never find myself feeling bored
