Verse 1
N.C. [D]
Come on down now my friends
[Em]
All these years I've been reminded
[G]
The celebrations and the laughs
[A]
The losses we've all had
[D]
Keep me younger than before
Verse 2
N.C. [D]
I've seen the world and twice again
[Em]
All the beauty that surrounds us
[G]
I speak of love I speak of peace
[A]
It's what I believe
[D]
And what I keep on fighting for
Chorus
[G] [A]
I hope these aren't just memories I've borrowed
[D] [G]
Piecеs from a less ordinary day
[Gm] [D] [Bm]
Fell into a coma then got back up on my feet
[Em] [A]
A sickly boy that found his own way
Verse 3
N.C. [D]
Finally fеlt like I belong
[Em]
The crumbling plaster on the ceiling
[G]
Let me escape to Prince's Park
[A]
Where I stared up at the stars
[D]
That let me ride to where I am
Chorus
[G] [A]
I hope these aren't just memories I've borrowed
[D] [G]
Piecеs from a less ordinary day
[Gm] [D] [Bm]
Fell into a coma then got back up on my feet
[Em] [A]
A sickly boy that found his own way
Bridge
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
La-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
La-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
La-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la
[G] [A] [D]
I banged on tins and made lots of noise
[Em]
When I hear a sad guitar I gently tap my knees
[D] [Em]
And all the people passing by I send them love and peace
[Out-Chorus]
[G] [A]
I hope these aren't just memories I've borrowed
[D] [G]
Piecеs from a less ordinary day
[Gm] [D] [Bm]
Fell into a coma then got back up on my feet
[Em] [A] [G] [D]
A teddy boy who found his own way
