Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Hello, my chum

 It's me and I'm banging on your door

 It's been far too long

 Since we set the leaves alight down on the floor

 I've returned for a while

 To the concrete that once claimed my knees

 And the stones my hands owned

 As I sent them toward windows and trees

Middle 8

 Towering trees

 Towering trees

Verse

2

There are bangers in the wheely bins

 Lazer pens shone through the glass

 And BB after BB fired

 From behind the wall beyond the grass

 And though boots met my face

 And knuckles cracked me black as coal

 I care not for the mindless

 Who poked fear at my sorry soul

Middle 8

 My soul

 My soul

Verse 3

 And I miss the rain on the roof

 Pitstop paths and whistling streams

 I miss the Coldstream chips

 The red subbuteo team painted green

Built on back fields,

 It seemed a thorn in my child side

 Instead became a grit-soaked playground

 Where the propers and the poor collide

Bridge

 Oh, it might sound dull

 But dull's sometimes all we have

 Yeah, it might sound dull

 But dull's all we ever have

Refrain

 Sometimes I talk with the meter

 Of a bingo caller's east-end drawl

 Who cares; we're all just trying to float

 While everything seems set to fall

Middle 8

 So hard

 So hard
