[Verse 1]
           A
I'm going back to a time when we owned this town
      D5
Down Powdermill 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
And watch night coming down
                 A       Esus4 E
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
We'd go down to the rides on East Parade
        F#m                     E
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
                       D
And watch night coming down
                 A       Esus4 E
On the Sovereign Light Café
                     D                A
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
          F#m                   E
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      D
To take turns as the stars
                 A       Esus4 E
Of 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
And look for you in Marley Lane
                         F#m
In every building, every street sign
                   D              Esus4 E
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
                           A
Well 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
And watch night coming down
                 A       Esus4 E
On the Sovereign Light Café
                     D                A
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
          F#m                   E
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      D
To take turns as the stars
                 A       Esus4 E
Of the Sovereign Light Café
[Outro]
       D    A
Shalalalalalaladiday  
F#m                              D       A
Yeah, I'm going where the people know my name
D  A  F#m  Esus4 E
Ooooooooooooooooooh  x2
