[Verse 1]
     Bm7
Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees
                                    D
my hands are black the sun is going down
    Bm7
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
                                      D
She's listening to the dream I weaved today
Bm7
Crosswords through the bathroom door
                                          D
while someone sings the theme-tune to the news
       Bm7
and my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
    D
and that's what triggered this.
                      Bm7
I come back here from time to time
                    D      Bm7  D 
I shelter here some days.

[Verse 2]
  Bm7
A high-back chair. He sits and stares
                                        D
A thousand yards and whistle's marching-band
Bm7
Kneeling by and speaking up
                                    D
He reaches out and I take a massive hand.
Bm7
Disjointed tales that flit between
                                   D
short trousers and a full dress uniform
       Bm7
And he talks of people ten years gone  like I've known them all my life
     D
Like scattered black 'n' whites....
                      Bm7
I come back here from time to time
                    D
I shelter here some days.
                      Bm7
I come back here from time to time
                    D
I shelter here some days.

[Outro]
Bm7   D
repeat to end
