verse 1
Dm7 Cmaj7
I brought you some francs from my travelling chest
Dm7 Cmaj7
You'll spare me the thanks 'til you know I'm the best
Dm7 Cmaj7
So come Hogmonay when love comes in slurs
Dm7 G E7
Resolutions I'll make and you can label them 'Hers'
F Am
We threw our hands up high we, nearly touched the sky,
F
We clicked our heels and spat and swore
D7 F#dim
We'd never let it die
Chorus
C E7
All those boy wonders
Fmaj7 C
Sold their medals when they saw this train
E7
Now this boy wonders
Fmaj7 C
When he'll feel the fall of honest rain
E7 Fmaj7 C
I came from high land where the hopefuls have to hesitate
E7
Now this boy wonders
Fmaj7 G
Why the words were never worth the wait
F E F#dim E7
I'm wait-ing, wai-----ting.
F
In pastel paper pink over grey
We wrap, wrap, wrap and chuck, chuck away
G
The poor excuse they peddle as their prose.

Dry your tears, tie your tongue
Dm7 Cmaj7
And you're never sixteen

Of the hard and the clean

And my travelling chest will be open to you

And boy will you learn that you haven't a clue
Bridge

I even asked my best friend but he could not explain

Called it genius.
