INTRO: E F# B E B

B                       E                 B
Ten year have passed in what seems like a minute
                                     F#
Just a restless boy intent on having fun
      B                  E                 B
Now I step down from the bus beside my old school
                F#                 B
A wiser man now that the journey's done.
                    E                                   B
	I've learnt silence from those that speak their mind
                    E             B               F#
	I've learnt kindness from those who are unkind
                       B                  E         B      E
	I've travelled round the world in search of what I need
                 F#                           B
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen.

Refrain: E F# B E B

The river's lullaby that once subdued me
And the buzzing hills that improvised a wall
Are sweet now I no longer seek an answer
To the self-imposing saddest songs of all
	And from that bitter root there grows a vine
	That shows regret for wasted years is wasted time
	I?ve travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

Solo: F# B F# B E B F# B 

Opaque clouds unmask a worried old face
But the images dissolve behind a tree
Unafraid of change and happy now in small ways
There is now as there always was, just me.
	And though the future is far off this much I know
	Nothing?s as far away as one minute ago
	I've travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

I?ve travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

Refrain: E F# B E B
