VERSE 1

F                        C
I had no cares in the 1990s
Am               G
I knew of no downfalls
F                                   C
Though war was breaking out all around me
Am                         G
My concerns were with prank calls

F
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
C         Am                 G
Right in front of the older kids
F                                 C
When our self belief, our self belief
         Am                    D
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
D
Cos now it feels like...

CHORUS

F                 C
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Am              C
And the more I give the less I get
F                 C
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Am                     G
There's little here to miss...

             F
Bring back 1996
C           Am
Bring back 1996
G                               F
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
C            Am    G
Bring back 1996


VERSE 2

F                                C
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
Am                     G
We were building telescopes
F                                   C
And sugar filled the whole of my body
Am                   G
As I urged it on to grow

F
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
C       Am                 G
Just to impress the older kids
F                                 C
When my self belief, my self belief
        Am                  D
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
D
Cos now it feels like...

CHORUS

F                 C
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Am              C
And the more I give the less I get
F                 C
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Am                     G
There's little here to miss...

             F
Bring back 1996
C           Am   D
Bring back 1996

BRIDGE

F                      C
Stop talking, stop talking
Am                     G
I need a lover not a friend tonight
F                   C
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Am                       D
I'm not cut out for the modern life
