D A They say they should fit better as they get a little older, E But now they've grown old, and I've just found my form. A D A Sunset's on the City, so the City's on its way D A To tiny tots, and time for pots of tea, D A And though I'm hoarse with talking I've not said a thing all day E That you could not have said as well as me. Chorus: E D (walking bass) A So today may be the day when I buy myself a surfing-board, D A E Throw snowballs at the teacher, or fall upon my sword, D But I would not like to hurt you, or bleed upon your floor, A E A So I'll see you when I see you, if I'm there. A D A Signs stuck to the station walls adhere to the opinion D A That I should not be standing here at all. D A I should be on a sailing-ship, or flying to Londinium E At prices quite extravagantly small, A D A But I await a train that's late to do my share of travelling: D A I see the world along the North Shore line. D A The tangled string that is me life's been far too long unravelling, E And there's new loose ends appearing all the time. E D (walking bass) A So today may be the day when I buy myself a surfing-board, D A E Throw snowballs at the teacher, or fall upon my sword, D But I would not like to hurt you, or bleed upon your floor, A E A So I'll see you when I see you, if I'm there. A D A Could be I'm old, for I've caught a cold, or something just as awful, D A But I feel a dreadful need to kick a cat, D A To pull rude faces, say bad words, do something quite unlawful, E But what then would I do when I'd done that? A D A Maybe I would touch the sky, or drink a pint of Cider, D A Maybe I would try to fly a kite, D A Maybe I'd pretend that I was sitting right beside her, E And pretend that childrens' days don't end at night. E D (walking bass) A So today may be the day when I buy myself a surfing-board, D A E Throw snowballs at the teacher, or fall upon my sword, D But I would not like to hurt you, or bleed upon your floor, A E A So I'll see you when I see you, if I'm there.
