Verse 1:
Em G D C
I drove my car along the old bus route to my parents house today
Em G D C
And on my way I saw the places I once loved begin to fade
Em G D C
The recreation grounds I knew so well have been replaced
Em G D C
With worn out football pitches, tennis courts and empty space
Chorus:
C Em D
I miss the days I used to know, I had a place
C Em D
Where all the friends I thought I loved, weren't far away
Em Bm C G
Before I lost my way and these streets still knew my name
C G D Em
I miss the days I knew I had a place, a place in everything
Em, G, D, C x2
Verse 2:
Em G
Now there are ghosts in the eyes of the checkout girls and the
D C
Boys that run the bars
Em G D C
Who 5 years ago were aspiring artists or poets with guitars
Em C G D C
We wore our hearts so far down our sleeves that we lost them day to day
D Em C
But this place, isn't the same you see
G D Em C
And these streets, don't feel like home to me
Chorus:
C Em D
I miss the days I used to know, I had a place
C Em D
Where all the friends I thought I loved, weren't far away
Em Bm C G
Before I lost my way and these streets still knew my name
C G D Em...
I miss the days I knew I had a place, a place in everything
Whoa's: ...Em - B - C - D - C - G - D
Bridge/Outro:
Em Bm
I parked the car and made my way down closer to the sea.
C G C G D
I inhaled the summer breeze and I felt free.
Em Bm
I forgot how much I missed the way, the sun lit up the east coast bays
C G D Em
And made the north sea come alive, and at night we'd pass the lighthouse by
C G D
On the our way to drown ourselves in illegal wine.
C G D
And we'd stay awake til the morning cars went by,
C G D
With nothing but a bus fare and a smile
Em D C
And I couldn't help but smile.
