[Verse 1]

Dm7Dm7            Cmaj7Cmaj7
I brought you some francs from my travelling chest

Dm7Dm7            Cmaj7Cmaj7
You'll spare me the thanks 'til you know I'm the best

Dm7Dm7       Cmaj7Cmaj7
So come Hogmonay when love comes in slurs

Dm7Dm7         G+G           E7E7
Resolutions I'll make and you can label them 'Hers'

  FF              A minorAm
We threw our hands up high we, nearly touched the sky,

  FF
We clicked our heels and spat and swore

  D7D7     F#dimF#dim
We'd never let it die

[Chorus]

C majorC      E7E7
All those boy wonders

Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
Sold their medals when they saw this train

       E7E7
Now this boy wonders

Fmaj7Fmaj7           C majorC
When he'll feel the fall of honest rain

       E7E7    Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate

        E7E7
Now this boy wonders

Fmaj7Fmaj7          G+G
Why the words were never worth the wait

    FF  E MajorE  F#dimF#dim  E7E7
I'm wait-ing, wai-----ting.

FF
In pastel paper pink over grey

We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away

                   G+G
The poor excuse they peddle as their prose.


[Verse 2]

Dm7Dm7            Cmaj7Cmaj7
Dry your tears, tie your tongue

Dm7Dm7            Cmaj7Cmaj7
And you're never sixteen

Dm7Dm7    G+G      E7E7
And I'll give you a glimpse


  FF         A minorAm
Of the hard and the clean

  FF
And my travelling chest will be open to you

  D7D7     F#dimF#dim
And boy will you learn that you haven't a clue


[Bridge]

A augmentedA        Db7Db7     F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
I even asked my best friend but he could not explain

        Db7Db7
It hit me when I left him

 F# minorF#m      Db7Db7
I felt the rain and called it genius,

F#dimF#dim
Called it genius.


[Chorus]

C majorC      E7E7
All those boy wonders

Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
Sold their medals when they saw this train

       E7E7
Now this boy wonders

Fmaj7Fmaj7           C majorC
When he'll feel the fall of honest rain

       E7E7    Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate

        E7E7
Now this boy wonders

Fmaj7Fmaj7          G+G
Why the words were never worth the wait

    FF  E MajorE  F#dimF#dim  E7E7
I'm wait-ing, wai-----ting.

FF
In pastel paper pink over grey


We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away

                   G+G
