1. Looking back at white and black reminders of my past,

        G                        D                       Em                   D

    smoky bars and cheap guitars, but nothing built to last.

   D                   C                                   G

Nothing ever stays, nothing comes to mind,

 D                 Em           C                     G

no one can erase the days we left behind.

2.    See the boys of Dungeon Lane along the Mersey shore,

      G                          D                       Em                               D

    some of them will feel the pain but some were meant for more.

          D                         C                                   G

And nothing stays the same, no one needs to cry,

  D                    Em           C                    G

nothing can reclaim the days we left behind.

     Em                                        - Bm

+        We met at Forthlin Road         and wrote a secret code,

Em                     Bm

    to never be spoken.

G                                     - D

    I stand by what I said,      the promise that I made

C                          D

    will never be broken

   D                   C                                    G

Nothing ever stays, nothing comes to mind,

         D                 Em          C                     G

and no one can erase the days we left behind.

   G                              D                 Em                            D

3.    In the skies the skylarks rise above the sounds of war,

      G                        D                             Em                D

    since that day I knew they d stay with me for evermore.

               D                         C                                         G

 Cause nothing stays the same and no one needs to cry,

         D                 Em                 C                     G

and no one is to blame for the days we left behind,

        C                     G

the days we left behind.
