Intro:

D5 Em7 Cadd9

Verse 1:
D5
Fifteen-year-old Francis
   Em7
We need to have a word
  Cadd9
I know because I remember
         Cadd9
That you cannot stand The Verve

            D5
But Richard Ashcroft had a point
        Em7
Now I'm old enough to see
          Cadd9
There's a million different people
         Cadd9
You will be before you're me

Chorus:
           G
I know I'm not
                                                Em7
Everything that you had hoped and imagined that I would be
             G
But I did my best
                                                            Em7
And I have seen things that you don't even know that you've never seen
                              Am7
We need to find some common ground
                          G/B
In the ruins that still stand
                   C
Between you and me   both of us want peace
N.C.
Ceasefire

[Instr]
D5  Em7  Cadd9

Verse 2:
    D5
I'm haunted by a ghost
    Em7
Who hides inside my body
Cadd9
Raging, rattling chains
Cadd9
Fifteen year old me

   D5
He judges my decisions
   Em7
He scorns what I've become
        Cadd9
And the hatred that consumes me
Cadd9
Starts and ends with him

Chorus:
           G
I know I'm not
                                                Em7
Everything that you had hoped and imagined that I would be
             G
But I did my best
                                                            Em7
And I have seen things that you don't even know that you've never seen
                              Am7
We need to find some common ground
                          G/B
In the ruins that still stand
                   C
Between you and me   both of us want peace
N.C.

Bridge:
(Dsus2/C)
  Then I came
Dsus2          Dsus2/B
to             clutching a paper
Dsus2          Dsus2/C
map            tattered and full of
Dsus2          Dsus2/B
holes          wandering through the
Dsus2/A             Dsus2/E
ruins of North East London, and I

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
suspect     if somehow I could
Dsus2          Dsus2/C
hold      this map up to the
Dsus2          Dsus2/B
sun        I'd somehow find new
Dsus2/A              Dsus2/E
words written in the backstreets, and just

Dsus2          Dsus2/B
perhaps     if I could stitch
Dsus2          Dsus2/C
together    my evenings and my
Dsus2          Dsus2/B
weekends like  cells within a
Dsus2/A                  Dsus2/E                G
film they'd tell you the story that you need to hear

Chorus:
     G/F#                                            Em7            Cadd9
That everything that you had hoped and imagined that you would be
               G
Might not work out
       G/F#                                                Em7           Cadd9
You'll find yourself stuck in the ruins with maps that you cannot read
                       Am7                   G/B
So come now let's make peace between you and me
                    C
I can't leave you behind, you're always on my mind
              Am7                      G/B
This is ridiculous, I cannot live like this
              C
Undone, undiagnosed, begging forgiveness of a ghost
N.C.      D5
