🎸 Verse :
 G        Am         F
Walking in London like I did as a child
      G        Am     F
I feel the cool air on the back of my neck
    G         Am          F
I am passing through the neighbourhood where I grew up
             G   Am
It doesn't feel like it used to
           F
Doesn't feel like it used to
G    Am     F
 Did I try to control you?
G       Am     F
 Yeah
I get lost in my own world

 So I go through all the words I ever said
    G       Am      F
And it feels like the world is crashing down

Let's have the time of our lives

We've never been closer than now
