G C BmAm
        (x2)
G       C               Bm     Am
We met when we were in school
G              C               Bm           Am
Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools
    Am                  G           G          Em
The teacher says we're dumb, we're only having fun
            Em             C    Am
You know we pissed on everyone
         G    C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
In the classroom
     G                    C                 Bm    Am
When we got thrown out I left without much fuss
     G                C             Bm             Am
And weekends we'd go dancing down Streatham on the bus
     Am             G      G             Em
You always made me laugh, got me in bad fights
 Em               C     Am
Play me pool all night,
          G    C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
Smoking menthols
G            C           Bm    Am
I practised daily in my room
G                   C          Bm          Am
You were down The Crown planning your next move
   Am             G     G            Em
Go on a nicking spree, hit the wrong guy
Em                C     Am
Each of you get three
           G    C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
Years in Brixton
G         C            Bm     Am
I did my very best to write
G                 C                   Bm     Am
How was Butlins? Were the screws too tight?
 Am               G           G           Em
When you lot get out, we're gonna hit the town
       Em              C     Am
We'll burn it fucking down
       G   C  Bm  Am  G  C  Bm  Am
To a cinder
     Bm                    Em
Cos years have passed and things have changed
       C                  D
And I move anyway I wanna go
          Bm               Em
And I'll never forget the feeling I got
         C                   G
When I heard that you'd got home
          Bm               Em
And I'll never forget the smile on my face
        C                   D
'cos I knew where you would be
    Bm                Em
And if you're in The Crown tonight
C               G
Have a drink on me
    G           Bm    Am7      G
Go easy, step lightly,   stay free
