Pet Shop Boys - Being boring

^FmI came across a cache of old photos and invi^Ebmtations to teenage parties. ^Fm“Dress in white,” one said with quotations ^Ebmfrom someone’s wife, a famous writer in the ^Ab11nineteen^Ab7- twenties.

^DbWhen you’re young you find inspiration in ^Gb6 anyone who’s ever gone ^Cb and opened up a closing door. ^Abm She said^Abm7 we were ne ^Ab - ver feeling bored.

‘Cau^Amaj7se we were never being boring, ^B we had t^G#moo much time to^C#m7 find for ourselves. And ^Amaj7we were never being boring, ^B we dress^G#med up and ^C#m7 fought, then thought, make amends. And ^Amaj7we were ^G#m7never holding back, or worried that ^F#m7time would c^Emaj7ome to an end.

^Fm When I went, I left from the station with a ^Ebm haversack and some trepidation. ^Fm Someone said “If you’re not careful, you’ll ^Ebmhave nothing left and nothing to care for in the ^Ab11nineteen^Ab7- seventies.”

^Db But I sat back, and looking forward, my ^Gb6 shoes were high, and I had scored. ^Cb I’d bolted through a closing door, ^Abm and I wo^Abm7uld never find ^Ab myself feeling bored.

‘Cau^Amaj7se we were never being boring, ^B we had t^G#moo much time to^C#m7 find for ourselves. And ^Amaj7we were never being boring, ^B we dress^G#med up and ^C#m7 fought, then thought, make amends. And ^Amaj7we were ^G#m7never holding back, or worried that ^F#m7time would c^Bome to an end. We w^Amaj7ere alwa^G#m7ys hoping that, looking back you ^F#m7could ^Emaj7always rely on a friend.

^Fm Now I sit with different faces in ^Ebm rented rooms and foreign places. ^Fm All the people I was kissing, ^Ebmsome are here and some are missing in the ^Ab11nineteen^Ab7- nineties.

^Db I never dreamt that I would get to be ^Gb6 the creature that I always meant to be. ^Cb But I thought, in spite of dreams, ^Abmyou’d be^Abm7 sitting some ^Ab - where here with me.
