Back in time
Graham Parker
Intro [(Em-Em/Em7)x3 times ,then Dsus2]x4 times

G                              Bm
You stop in the old cafe where you used to play pinball
C                                 Am                     C    
      G
And look for the air-raid shelter but it's gone and the cafe seems so
G                              Bm
small and all the gardens That had trees and stolen apples
C                         Am              C            G
now have small businesses flourishing in cinder blocks
G             Am              Bm                      C
Then they will call your name and hand you a gold watch
G             Am              Bm                       C
Then they will call your name but it doesn't sound like much
Em                 C    Bm             Am
And you'll never discover why it's like an old lover
G             Am           Bm                    C
you can't touch anymore It doesn't mean much anymore
 Dsus2     Em/Em7--------Dsus2(riff intro)
when you go back in time back in time

G                          Bm
You head down to the local try to find a focal point
C                          Am                C             G
A scratch in the wallpaper but it's all been wallpapered over
G                          Bm
Down at the newsagents it's all pornography
C                            Am                 C             
    G
And you try to get high again but it's like time-lapse photography
G             Am              Bm                 C
Then they will call your name and hand you a medal
G             Am              Bm                 C
Or something more practical like a whistling kettle
Em                    C    Bm          Am
and it'll test your metal Just try to keep grinning
G             Am              Bm                    C
knowing that this feeling is Indulgence worse than sinning
Dsus2     Em/Em7--------Dsus2(riff intro)
trying to go back in time

Instrumental: G Bm C Am C (2 times then riff intro)

G                          Bm
Photographs with a glossy finish letters lovers never finished
C                          Am                C             G
And there in a dusty drawer a necktie you once wore
G                          Bm
And a girl you tried to court made you feel about two feet short
C                            Am                 C             
    G
Where is she now today? What would she have to say?
G             Am              Bm                 C
Then they will call your name and hand you a pension
G             Am              Bm                 C
A bottle of pills that guarantee life extension
Em                    C    Bm          Am
and give you a mention in the local boy makes good section
G             Am              Bm                    C
But all the old news is like print stains across your mind
Dsus2     Em/Em7--------Dsus2(riff intro)
when you go back in time
