VERSE 1

C5                        G5
I had no cares in the 1990s
E5               D5
I knew of no downfalls
C5                                   G5
Though war was breaking out all around me
E5                         D5
My concerns were with prank calls

C5
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
G5         E5                 D5
Right in front of the older kids
C5                                 G5
When our self belief, our self belief
         E5                    A5
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
A5
Cos now it feels like...

CHORUS

C5                 G5
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
E5              G5
And the more I give the less I get
C5                 G5
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
E5                     D5
There's little here to miss...

             C5
Bring back 1996
G5           E5
Bring back 1996
D5                               C5
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
G5            E5    D5
Bring back 1996


VERSE 2

C5                                G5
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
E5                     D5
We were building telescopes
C5                                   G5
And sugar filled the whole of my body
E5                   D5
As I urged it on to grow

C5
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
G5       E5                 D5
Just to impress the older kids
C5                                 G5
When my self belief, my self belief
        E5                  A5
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
A5
Cos now it feels like...

CHORUS

C5                 G5
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
E5              G5
And the more I give the less I get
C5                 G5
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
E5                     D5
There's little here to miss...

             C5
Bring back 1996
G5           E5   A5
Bring back 1996

BRIDGE

C5                      G5
Stop talking, stop talking
E5                     D5
I need a lover not a friend tonight
C5                   G5
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
E5                       A5
I'm not cut out for the modern life
