| F Fsus2 | F Fsus2 |
[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
When I was ten I thought my brother was God
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
He'd lie in bed and turn out the light with a fishing rod
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I learned the names of all his football team
F Fsus2 F G C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
And I still remembered them when I was nineteen
F Fsus2 F G
Yeah
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Strange the things that I remember still
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
Shouts from the playground when I was home and ill
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
My sister taught me all that she learned there

When we grew up, we said, we'd share a flat somewhere
[Chorus]

When I was seventeen

C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Where I grow up there were no factories
F Fsus2 F Fsus2
There was a school and shops and some fields and trees
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Rows of houses one by one appeared
F Fsus2 F G
I was born in one and lived there for eighteen years
[Chorus]

Then when I was nineteen
F G Fsus2
I thought the Humber would be
[Bridge]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
The gateway from my little world
F Fsus2 F G
Into the real world
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
But there is no real world, we live side by side
F Fsus2 F G
And sometimes collide
[Chorus]
F G F G
When I was seventeen
F G Fsus2
London meant Oxford Street
[Outro]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F Fsus2 F G
It was a little world
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F Fsus2 F G
I grew up in a little world
| C Cmaj7 | C Cmaj7 |
| F Fsus2 | F G |
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
There is no real world, we live side by side
F Fsus2 F G
And sometimes collide
Cmaj7
Yeah
