[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse 1]
C Em
We were an hour the wrong side of the Avon
F C
When the old van gave up the fight
C Em
You pulled your bags off the back seat
F C
Left me there, walked into the night
Dm Am
Now I didn't mind picking up the pieces
F C
Sorting out the gear waiting for the light
Dm Am
But standing there on the hard shoulder
F G
I ran out of strength to make things right
[Verse 2]
C Em
We go back to school in the city
F C
First in line for the back of the class
C Em
Or out on the field looking for the action
F G
Buried in a ruck with a punch or a laugh
Dm Am
You left when you were fifteen
F C
I stayed on for the safety net
Dm Am
It broke my fall that cold morning
F G
You were falling then have you landed yet?
[Chorus]
F C
No surprise no mystery
G F
What we are or where we're from
Dm C
Our lives our history
F
In a song
[Instrumental]
Dm C F F
C C C C
[Verse 3]
C Em
Now I got word you were working
F C
The bars and the pubs all along the coast
C Em
Well I parked the car and I heard you singing
F G
My face at the window must have looked like a ghost
Dm Am
Forget the stuff we wrote together
F C
No compromise you used to boast
Dm Am
But hearing you play all that boy band cover trash
F G
Now that's what really hurts me the most
[Chorus]
F C
No surprise no mystery
G F
What we are or where we're from
Dm C
Our lives our history
F
In your song
[Instrumental]
Dm C F F
C C C C
[Verse 4]
C Em
You once said if you don't use it
F C
You'll wake one day find it gone
C Em
Your guitar is standing in the corner
F G
Why don't you come around here prove yourself wrong
Dm Am
We might be a little older now
F C
Ah you know the heart beat is still as strong
Dm Am
And anyway I've got this hard shoulder now
F G
That you might wanna lean upon
[Chorus]
F C
No surprise no mystery
G F
What we are or where we're from
Dm C
Our lives our history
F
In your song
[Instrumental]
Dm C F F
