Verse 1:
          A
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
     D5
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
        A                      F#m      E4   E
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                     A       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
        D5
When we thought about things we were gonna do
        A                      F#m     E4  E
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               D               A
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
       F#m                      E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                   D                     A       E4  E
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Caf?


Verse 3:
                         A
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
       D5
Or I'm turning back home and I'm walking away
      A                     F#m      E4  E
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus
               D                A 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
       F#m                     E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                   D                     A       E4  E
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Caf?
               D                A
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
          F#                      E
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                    D                      A        E4  E
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Caf?


Bridge:
  D    E4 A          E
I wheel my bike off the train,

Up the North Trade Road,
D       E4 A        E
Look for you on Marley Lane
                         F#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   D              E4  E
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                       A~
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
        D5~
You can get a big house and a faster car
        A~                    F#m~      E4  E 
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                     D                A
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
       F#m                     E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                  D                     A      E4  E
Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Caf?
                   D                A
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
          F#m                    E
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                    D                      A       E4  E
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Caf? 

      D           A    F#m
La la la la la la la laYeah, 
    E                      D       A   E4  E
I'm going where the people know my name

La la la la la la la laYeah, 
    E                      D       A   E4  E
