[Verse 1]
[Ebm]I came across a cache of old photos
[C#m]And invitations to teenage parties
[Ebm]"Dress in white" one said,
with quotations
[C#m]From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the [F#]nineteen-t[F#sus4]wenties
[F#]When[B] When you're
young you find inspiration
[E]In any[C#m]one who's ever go[E]ne
[A]And opened up a closing door
[F#m]She said: "We were
never feeling bored
[F#]

[Verse 2]
'Cause we were never [G]being [A]boring
We had too much [F#m]time to find
for [Bm]ourselves
And we were never [G]being [A]boring
We dressed up [F#m]and fought,
then thought: "Make amend[Bm]s"
And we were never [G]holding
back or [F#m]worried that
[Em]Time would come to an en[D]d"

[Verse 3]
[Ebm]
When I went I left from the station
With [C#m]a haversack
and some trepidation
[Ebm]Someone said: "If
you're not careful
You'll [C#m]have nothing left
and nothing to care for
In the [F#sus4]nineteen-seventies"
[F#]But [B]But I sat back and looking forward
[E]My shoes were high and I had scored
[A]I'd bolted through a closing doo[F#m]r
I would never find myself
feeling bored
[F#]

[Verse 4]
'Cause we were never [G]being [A]boring
We had too much [F#m]time to
find for [Bm]ourselves
And we were never [G]being [A]boring
We dressed up [F#m]and fought,
then thought: "Make amend[Bm]s"
And we were never [G]holding
back or [F#m]worried that
[Em]Time would come to an en[A]d
We were always [G]hoping that,
[F#m]looking back
You could [Em]always rely on [D]a friend
[C#m]

[Verse 5]
[Ebm]Now I sit with different faces
[C#m]In rented rooms and foreign pla[Ebm]ces
All the people I was kissing
[C#m]Some are here and some are missing
In the [E]nineteen-n[F#]ineties[F#sus4]
[F#]I I [B]never dreamt that I would get to be
[E]The creature tha[C#m]t I always
meant to [E]be[A]
But I thought in spite of [F#m]dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere
here with me
[F#]

[Verse 6]
'Cause we were never [G]being [A]boring
We had too much [F#m]time
to find for [Bm]ourselves
And we were never [G]being [A]boring
We dressed up [F#m]and fought,
then thought: "Make [Bm]amends"
And we were never [G]holding
back [F#m]or worried that
[Em]Time would come to an en[A]d
We were always [G]hoping that,
[F#m]looking back
You could [Em]always rely on [D]a friend

[Verse 7]
And we were never [G]being [A]boring
We had too much [F#m]time to find
for [Bm]ourselves
And we were never [G]being [A]boring
We dressed up [F#m]and fought,
then thought: "Make amend[Bm]s"
And we were never [G]being [A]boring
We were [F#m]nev er being bo[Bm]red
'Cause we were never [G]being [A]boring
We were [F#m]nev er being bored
