[Verse 1]
Dm7I brought you some francs Cmaj7from my travelling chest
Dm7You'll spare me the thanks Cmaj7'til you know I'm the best
Dm7So come Hogmonay Cmaj7when love comes in slurs
Dm7Resolutions I'll make Gand you can label them E7'Hers'
We Fthrew our hands up high we, Amnearly touched the sky,
We Fclicked our heels and spat and swore
We'd D7never let F#dimit die
[Chorus]
CAll those boE7y wonders
Fmaj7Sold their medals when tChey saw this train
Now this boy E7wonders
Fmaj7When he'll feel the fall oCf honest rain
I came from hE7igh land Fmaj7where the hopefuls have Cto hesitate
Now this boy woE7nders
Fmaj7Why the words were never Gworth the wait
I'm waiFt-ingE, waF#dimi-----tiE7ng.
FIn pastel paper pink over grey
We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away
The poor excuse they peddle as their Gprose.
[Verse 2]
Dm7Dry your tears, tie your tCmaj7ongue
Dm7And you're never sixteenCmaj7  
Dm7And I'll giGve you a gliE7mpse
Of Fthe hard and the cAmlean
And Fmy travelling chest will be open to you
And D7boy will yF#dimou learn that you haven't a clue
[Bridge]
AI even asked my Db7best friend F#mbut he could not eAxplain
It hit me when I Db7left him
I F#mfelt the rain Db7and called it genius,
F#dimCalled it genius.
[Chorus]
CAll those boE7y wonders
Fmaj7Sold their medals when tChey saw this train
Now this boy E7wonders
Fmaj7When he'll feel the fall oCf honest rain
I came from hE7igh land Fmaj7where the hopefuls have Cto hesitate
Now this boy woE7nders
Fmaj7Why the words were never Gworth the wait
I'm waiFt-ingE, waF#dimi-----tiE7ng.
