Chris Difford - 1975
(Difford)
From the studio album, Cashmere If You Can
[Intro]
D G x2
[Verse 1]
D G
I signed away my future
D G
To earn myself a place
D G
Upon neon posters
D G
With stickers on my case
A
To be the one who I am
G
How could I sur-vive?
A
Without putting pen to paper
D G D G
In nineteen seventy-five
[Verse 2]
D G
I hid between the shadows
D G
That fell around my soul
D G
I drank myself in circles
D G
And dug myself a hole
A
So I could bury feelings
G
While I was getting high
A
Enjoying the darkest moments
D G D G
Of nineteen seventy-nine
[Verse 3]
A
I know how hard it hit me
Em
And how it changed my life
A
I threw away a family
Em
A fortune and a wife
G A
My confidence was lacking
G
I thought I had a clue
A
I threw up on the journey
D G D G
In nineteen eighty-two
[Interlude]
E A E A
[Verse 4]
E A
I’ve never had foun-dations
E A
No place to plant my roots
E A
I’m in and out of rehabs
E A
And in the empty rooms
[Verse 5]
A B
I fell down on the doorstep
A
I was still out of my mind
B
We partied like it was over
C# F# C# F# C# F# C# F#
In nineteen ninety-nine
[Verse 6]
G#
It sounds like I’m complaining
D#m
But I’m happy to be here
G#
It’s been a pleasant journey
D#m
That seems to disappear
B C#
With every day that passes
B
I'm looking back in time
C#
And I’ve never been so happy
F#
As in nineteen seventy-five
B
