Verse 1:
B B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
E E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m C#m B B G#m G#m B B F# F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
B B
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
E E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m C#m B B G#m G#m B B F# F#
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
E E B B
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
G#m G#m F# F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
E E G#m G#m F# F#
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
B B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
E E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m C#m B B G#m G#m B B F# F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
E E B B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
G#m G#m F# F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
E E G#m G#m F# F#
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

E E B B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
G#m G#m F# F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
E E G#m G#m F# F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
E E B B F# F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
F# F#
Up the North Trade Road,
E E B B F# F#
Look for you on Marley Lane
G#m G#m
In every building, every streetlight
E E F# F# G#m G#m B B F# F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
B B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
E E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m C#m B B G#m G#m B B F# F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
E E B B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
G#m G#m F# F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
E E G#m G#m F# F#
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

E E B B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
G#m G#m F# F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
E E G#m G#m F# F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

E E B B G#m G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,
F# F# E E B B F# F#
I'm going where the people know my name
