Brought us closer together

Looking back at white and black
  Em            D
Reminders of my past
G              D/F#
Smoky bars and cheap guitars
    Em               D
But nothing built to last
 
 
Chorus:
D            C
Nothing ever stays
                 G
Nothing comes to mind

No one can erase

The days we left behind

 See the boys of Dungeon Lane

Along the Mersey shore

But some were meant for more
 
 
Chorus:
D                 C
Nothing stays the same

The days we left behind

  We met at Forthlin Road
Bm
  And wrote a secret code
Em            Bm
  To never be spoken
G
 I stand by what I said

 The promise that I made
C              D
 Will never be broken
 
 
Chorus:
D            C
Nothing ever stays
                 G
Nothing comes to mind

The days we left behind

G                  D
 In the skies, the skylarks rise
 Em                 D
Above the sounds of war
G                 D
Since that day, I knew they’d stay
     Em        D
With me forevermore
 
 
Chorus:
       D                 C
’Cause nothing stays the same
                    G
And no one needs to cry
    D            Em
And no one is to blame
        C              G
For the days we left behind
 
 
Outro:

Fmaj7         G              Fmaj7
     I try my best (I try my best)
             G
Right now, although I leave it up to you

Verse 1:
G                                C       G
 Well, we were travelling on the Chester Road
                       C    G
A lorry driver picking up a load said
                              C      G
"Where you heading, boys? You need a ride "
                C
We said, "We're heading down south"
                G
And we jumped inside
 
 
Chorus:
         Am                 Em
It was a good way to get to know you
  Am                      Em
A fine way to work it all out
         Am                 Em
It was a good way to get to know you
           C                   G
As we were making our way down south
    D         C          G
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, down south
 
 
Verse 2:
G                             C         G
 The morning bus was where we two would meet
                       C     G
I sat beside you on an empty seat
                            C        G
We'd talk about guitars and rock and roll
              C                              G   Em
They were the subjects that would nеver grow old
 
 
Chorus:
         Am                 Em
It was a good way to get to know you
  Am                      Em
A fine way to work it all out
         Am                 Em
It was a good way to get to know you
          C                    G
Before we learned to twist and shout
    D         C
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
          G
Before we learned to twist and shout
 
 
Verse 3:
G                         C        G
 The lorry went as far as he could go
                            C    G
And dropped us off beside a busy road
                            C        G

 The peace would soon begin
Am                          Cmaj7
  Living on the edge of the city
         D                   Am
When the roads were going in
 
 
Chorus:
    Am
But they couldn't take anymore (They couldn't take anymore)
    Em
But they had to (Carry on)
    Am
But they couldn't take anymore (They couldn't take anymore)
    Em
But they had to (Carry on) carry on (Carry on)
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am   G
 
 
Post-Chorus:
G
So they learned to carry on
                    C
With laughter and a song
                         F
To help them through the night
C                 Am
 They're going to make it through
C                 Am          Em
 They're going to make it all right
 
 
Verse 2:
Am              Cmaj7   D                  Am
  The only entertainment a piano and a radio
Am            Cmaj7           D                            Am
  Hot tea and cigarettes was enough to keep them on the go
Am            Cmaj7 D               Am
  Another generation yearning to be free
Am                                Cmaj7 D                   Am
  Learning how to keep it together       and raise a family
 
 
Chorus:
Am
They couldn't take anymore (They couldn't take anymore)
    Em
But they had to (Carry on)
    Am
But they couldn't take anymore (They couldn't take anymore)
    Em                                                Am
But they had to (Carry on) carry on (Carry on), carry on

Verse:
Am                  Amaj7
Momma gets by while papa gets high
Am                                   Amaj7
  She makes enough to raise a family
      Am                 Amaj7
She's working all day to bring in the pay
      Dmaj7                  E
She's taking good care of me
Dmaj7                    E
Giving me every opportunity
Am                   Amaj7
And if it rains, she never complains
      Am                                  Amaj7
She's tough enough to make it through the storm, mm-hm
Am                 Amaj7
Papa gets back and heads for the sack
   Dmaj7                               E
As soon as he steps inside the kitchen door
    Dmaj7                                 E
But she doesn't mind, she's seen it all before
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
Dmaj7                                  E
She doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life
Dmaj7                            E
It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to bе his wife
    Dmaj7                             E
And even though hе's complicated, she takes it in her stride
Dmaj7                                 E
What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside?
 
 
Chorus:
    A
She loves him
    Amaj7                            A
She loves him with all her heart and soul
                  D    E
All her heart and soul
  E         A
Because she loves him
    Amaj7                            A7
She loves him with all her heart and soul
                  D    E
All her heart and soul

Pre-Chorus:
      Dmaj7                                  E
Well, she doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life
Dmaj7                            E
It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to bе his wife
    Dmaj7                             E
And even though hе's complicated, she takes it in her stride
Dmaj7                                 E
What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside?

She loves him with all her heart and soul

All her heart and soul
  E         A
Because she loves him
        Amaj7                            G
And she loves him with all her heart and soul
                       D    E
With all her heart and soul
