[Verse 1]
A
I'm going back to a time when we owned this town
D5
Down Powder Mill Lane and the Battlegrounds
A F#m Esus4 E
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
[Verse 2]
A
I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you
D5
When we talked about things we were gonna do
A F#m Esus4 E
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
[Chorus]
D A
We'd go down to the rides on East Parade,
F#m E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
D A Esus4 E
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
[Verse 3]
A
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
D5
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
A F#m Esus4 E
I'm a better man now than I was that day
[Chorus]
D A
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
F#m E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
D A Esus4 E
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
D A
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
F# E
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
D A Esus4 E
To take turns as the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
[Bridge]
D Esus4 A E
I wheel my bike off the train,
Up the North Trade Road,
D Esus4 A E
Look for you on Marley Lane
F#m
In every building, every street sign
D Esus4 E
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
[Verse 4]
A
But you've got nothing to hide, you can't change who you really are
D5
You can get a big house and a faster car
A F#m Esus4 E
You can run away boy, but you won't go far
[Chorus]
D A
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
F#m E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
D A Esus4 E
Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Café
D A
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
F#m E
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
D A Esus4 E
To take turns as the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
D A F#m
La la la la la la la la yeah,
E D A Esus4 E
I'm going where the people know my name
D A F#m
La la la la la la la la yeah,
E D A Esus4 E

version 3
saw a few sets of chords for this song, but i found that you can use
easier chords if you just capo it at the second fret. All chords are relative to the capo.
Note: the Bm chord in the verse is optional. It is played by the piano to lead into the
A chord.
Basic Chord Changes:
Verse - A D Bm A F#m A E
Chorus - D A F#m E (x2)
Bridge and Ending don't really follow a pattern
