Opening : Am Am G Am Verse : Am I never was a violent man G Am Said the man in the bar with his head in his hands He's trying his best to understand G Am The cause of his dismay But years of gin have broken him And left him cold where he fitted in And it's too late now to turn around And find another way. Chorus : Dm F All the laughs in the late night lock-in Am G They fade away when he gets in Dm F The girl from fifteen years ago Am Has packed and gone away. Verse : That's never how it used to be What happened to all that energy ? You took one too many liberties I'm tired of being afraid So after a fight she took flight Hiding swollen eyes and a wounded pride The best years of her life denied And sold for liquid shares. Chorus : And the laughs in the late night lock-in They fade away when he gets in The girl from fifteen years ago Has packed and gone away. Bridge : Am G And the victims of this world Am G They're advertised on posters Am G Just a beach and a pretty girl Am G You just take this potion. Verse : It's another week 'till his cheque comes through He's got a fiver left now to spend on food But the doors of the bar are open And he breaks another rule He sits on the stool that bears his name He's got a favorite glass now that's called the same And he's never been kept waiting 'Cause he pays the landlord's wage. Chorus : And the laughs in the late night lock-in They fade away when he gets in The girl from fifteen years ago Am G Has packed and gone away All the laughs in the late night lock-in They fade away when he gets in The girl from fifteen years ago Has packed and gone away. -Transcribed by Assaf Sagi, 19/10/94-
