(Difford/Abrahams)
From the 2011 studio album, Cashmere If You Can.
[Intro]
Em G A [x2]
[Verse 1]
Em G A
The day I mugged an old lady, was the day that ruined my life
Em G A
I was in a big gang of skin'eads, they were very good friends of mine
C G
We were thick, thick as three planks of wood
D A Em G Am
And we did it just because we could
[Verse 1]
Em G A
The night I pissed on a mattress, was a moment of disbelief
Em G A
When I woke up cold in the morning, she didn't
C G
And I fell into bed like a stone
D A Em
I wet the bed oh but at least I got home
[Chorus]
G D
Back in the day when I was young
Em C
I thought that life was just for fun
G D
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change
Em A C
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was
A C D Em G A Em G A
Back in the day
[Verse 2]
Em G A
The day I punched you in Harrods, was a day that I won't forget
Em G A
I was removed by a man and a woman, I was totally out of my head
C G D
And I'm sorry I acted that way, but all of it was
A Em D
Back in the day
[Chorus]
G D
Back in the day when I was young
Em C
I thought that life was just for fun
G D
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change
Em A C
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was
A C D Em G A Em G A
Back in the day
C G D Em
[Verse 3]
Em G A
The day I threw up in a matchbox, was bizarre beyond any doubt
Em G A
I'd been on a bottle of Teachers, I was trying not to let it flow out
C G
I was drunk but with OCD,
D A Em G A
What on earth was the matter with me?
[Chorus]
G D
So here I am, I'm as soft as cream
Em C
And I'm still living my improbable dream
G D
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change
Em A C
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as
[Chorus]
G D
Back in the day when I was young
Em C
I thought that life was just for fun
G D
I thought I was invincible, but all that had to change
Em A C
I still think I'm impossible but maybe not as strange as I was
A C D Em G A
Back in the day
[Outro]
Am C Em A C
