VERSE 1 C=E G=B Em=Gmaj# D=f# A=C#

E                        B
I had no cares in the 1990s
Gmaj#               f#
I knew of no downfalls
E                                   B
Though war was breaking out all around me
Gmaj#                         f#
My concerns were with prank calls

E
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
B         Gmaj#               f#
Right in front of the older kids
E                                 B
When our self belief, our self belief
         Gmaj#                 C#
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
C#
Cos now it feels like...

CHORUS

E                 B
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Gmaj#              B
And the more I give the less I get
E                 B
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Gmaj#                     f#
There's little here to miss...

             E
Bring back 1996
B           Gmaj
Bring back 1996
f#                              E
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
B           Gmaj#    C#
Bring back 1996


VERSE 2

E                                B
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
Gmaj#                     f#
We were building telescopes
E                                   B
And sugar filled the whole of my body
Gmaj#                   f#
As I urged it on to grow

E
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
B       Gmaj#                f#
Just to impress the older kids
E                                 B
When my self belief, my self belief
        Gmaj#                  C#
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
C#
Cos now it feels like...

CHORUS 

E                 B
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Gmaj#              B
And the more I give the less I get
E                 B
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Gmaj#                     f#
There's little here to miss...

             E
Bring back 1996
B           Gmaj
Bring back 1996
f#                              E
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
B           Gmaj#    C#
Bring back 1996


BRIDGE

E                      B
Stop talking, stop talking
Gmaj#                     f#
I need a lover not a friend tonight
E                   B
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Gmaj#                       f#
I'm not cut out for the modern life

CHORUS 

E                 B
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Gmaj#              B
And the more I give the less I get
E                 B
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Gmaj#                     f#
There's little here to miss...

             E
Bring back 1996
B           Gmaj
Bring back 1996
f#                              E
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
B           Gmaj#    C#
Bring back 1996
