[Intro]
D
 
[Verse 1]
I think back on all those weekends
GWhen I'd lose track then fall asleep and
Bm A GWake up drinking out of mugs with vimto stains
DOn your chair sat in the corner
GYou'd say the weather’s getting warmer
Bm A GThen we’d Go out to fly our paper planes
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G*I wonder what you'd think if you could see me now
 
[Chorus]
D GSo I'll wear the boots you bought me when I was 15
Bm GAnd hope that you'd be proud of who I turned out to be
 
[Verse 2]
DSix years on, I still remember
GThat day in mid December
Bm A GDad sat me down with red around his eyes
DIt had been weeks since I’d last seen you
GKissed your cheeks, said "I'll be back soon"
Bm A G'Cause I thought we had a little bit more time
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G*What would it be like if you were still around?
 
[Chorus]
D GSo I'll wear the boots you bought me when I was 15
Bm GAnd hope that you'd be proud of who I turned out to be
 
[Bridge]
EmI’ll steal bread from the kitchen
BmChase my sisters round the garden
D A GTrampling on the flowers on the lawn
EmYou'll never see me graduate
BmOr any of our wedding days
D Bm GI don’t want to grow up on my own
 
[Chorus]
D GSo I'll wear the boots you bought me when I was 15
Bm GAnd hope that you'd be proud of who I turned out to be
D GBut all the things I wish I told you I'll never get to say
Bm GAnd you won't get to meet the man that I Am today
 
[Verse 3]
D*Now with every passing Christmas
G*I feel so low and I can't fix it
Bm* A* G*I wish I was back at your house again
D*Now I'm older and I'm taller
G*And the weather's getting warmer
Bm* A* G*So I'll Go out to fly my paper planes
