D5                            C5
  No one promised this when I was a kid
D5                               C5
  When my days were filled with carousels
A5                      D5
    Fairground rides and cockleshells
D5                        C5
  Kicking pebbles on the beach
A5                    D5
    When time couldn't reach me
D5                       C5
  And tears were just a memory
A5            D5
    Left to be lonely

G5 ( E5 ) C#5
            Now days
D5                    C5
  Catch me without an overcoat
D5                    C5
  Five o'clock shoes full of snow
A5                  D5
    All rained out nowhere to go

C#5
Memories
            F#5      F#5 E5 D5 C#5

C#5
No matter how fast you run
            F#5
Gonna catch up with you

   Oh this winter sure sure gets me down
A5                     D5
    When there ain't no friends around
