F5
   I came across a cache of old photos
    Eb5
And     invitations to teenage parties
F5
   'Dress in white' one said with quotations
     Eb5
From     someone's wife
                       F#5       Ab5
A famous writer in the nineteen twenties
 

C#5
   When you're young, you find inspiration
   B5
In       anyone who's ever gone
B5
  And opened up a closing door
Ab5                  Ab5          Ab5
    She said we were never feeling bored
 

                     A5        B5
'Cause we were never being boring
                Ab5                 C#5
We had too much time to find for ourselves
                  A5        B5
And we were never being boring
                  Ab5                          C#5
We dressed up and fought, then thought, make amends
                  A5
And we were never holding back
   Ab5         F#5                    E5
Or worried that time would come to an end
 

F5
   When I went, I left from the station
       Eb5
With a     haversack and some trepidation
F5
   Someone said, "If you're not careful
            Eb5
You'll have     nothing left
                               F#5       Ab5
And nothing to care for in the nineteen seventies"
 

C#5
   But I sat back and looking forward
   B5
My       shoes were high and I had scored
B5                                   
  I'd bolted through a closing door
Ab5                   Ab5                Ab5
    And I would never find myself feeling bored
 

                     A5        B5
'Cause we were never being boring
                Ab5                 C#5
We had too much time to find for ourselves
                  A5        B5
And we were never being boring
                  Ab5                          C#5
We dressed up and fought, then thought, make amends
                  A5
And we were never holding back
   Ab5         F#5                    B5
Or worried that time would come to an end
               A5        Ab5
We were always hoping that, looking back
          F#5                E5
You could always rely on a friend

F5
   Now I sit with different faces
   Eb5
In     rented rooms and foreign places
F5
   All the people I was kissing
Eb5
    Some are here and some are missing
       F#5       Ab5
In the nineteen nineties
 

C#5
   I never dreamt that I would get to be
B5
      The creature that I always meant to be
B5
  But I thought in spite of dreams
Ab5                  Ab5                Ab5
    You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
 

                     A5        B5
'Cause we were never being boring
                Ab5                  C#5
We had too much time to find for ourselves
                  A5        B5
And we were never being boring
                  Ab5                          C#5
We dressed up and fought, then thought, make amends
                  A5
And we were never holding back
   Ab5         F#5                    B5
Or worried that time would come to an end
               A5        Ab5
We were always hoping that, looking back
          F#5                E5
You could always rely on a friend
 

                  A5        B5
And we were never being boring
        Ab5         C#5
We were never being bored
                     A5        B5
'Cause we were never being boring
        Ab5         C#5
We were never being bored
