NOTE:
Every time it says play an Am chord, it actually means using the riff:
Am-Asus2-Am
The only exception is at the start of the chorus ("So here I go...."),
where you only play a straight Am.


Verse:
C               F
I would like to leave this city
C                   F
This old town don't smell too pretty and
C     Em       Am            D       Dsus4     D      F
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
C           F                     C                  F
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
C         Em       Am            D       Dsus4     D      F
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Chorus:
Am        C        E7                    Am
So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
F                          Fm           G      G7
My body feels young but my mind is very old
Am                  C
So what do you say?
          E7                          Am
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
       F
You're half the world away
Fm
Half the world away
C        Em    Am
Half the world away
          D              Dsus4       D          F
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down.

Verse 2:

(same as Chorus chords):
So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away                              Fadd9
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

Outro: C  F or Fadd9
