Asus2 E/A G D6/F#
Once I went back and I stayed on the street
A Amaj7 F#m7add11
Where I used to live
Bm
Got up in the morning
G E Esus4 E
Put on my boots and I crossed the road
Bm
Stood in front of our house
G E Esus4 E
And went back to my tricycle times
Asus2 E/A G D6/F#
At the end of the terrace I looked up the alley
A Amaj7 F#m7add11
And there he was
Bm
A little blonde boy
G E Esus4 E
With a stick in his hands looking straight at me
Bm
And if he wasn’t me
G E Esus4 E
Then my god, he was just like I used to be
C#m7
We stared at each other
Dsus2 A/C# E Esus4 E E
But he stared me down and I looked away
C#m7
After a moment
Dsus2 A/C# E
When I turned again he was gone

Asus2 E/A G D6/F#
I don’t think I ever became half the man
A Amaj7 F#m7add11
That I used to be
Bm
The warrior captain
G E Esus4 E
The bold pirate king of the sea
Asus2 E/A G
Nobody does me like I do
D6/F# A Amaj7 F#m7add11
Or that’s what they say to me
Bm
But I’m a pale imitation
G E Esus4 E
I’ve been keeping my secret safe with me
