Verse 1
Bm Em AThe moon went behind a petro-chemical plant .
F#I had a feeling I didn't. understand
BmI was shivering on crutches
EmMore dead than alive
A F#It was Christmas 1985.
Bm Em AIt was the night they let me out of the home
F# BmIt was the night I caught the bus on my own
EmAnd the city slithered past the windows
A F#Like a film that was only just beginning
Bm Em AI was so excited I nearly missed my stop .
It was quarter to ten
F#I was hopelessly lost
BmI arrived pretty late
EmBut you didn't seem to mind
AWe are not the first
F#But we are golden tonight
BmLike two little children
EmUnder the covers
AAdrift in the night
F#With the universe above us
BmAnd I'll be the dad
EmAnd you be the mum
A F#And we'll make out we know what it is that we've done
BmBut whatever it is
Em A F#I know, that it's only just beginning.
Chorus
Bm GTrying so, so hard
A F#/BbTo act just like a grown up
Bm GAnd it's so, so hard
A F#/BbAnd we're hoping that we don't get shown up
Bm'Cause everybody wants to grow up
Verse 2
Bm EmFinally part of the new generation
A F#Finally part of the pub conversation
Bm EmAnd somehow this leads to mature life decisions
A F#Like the one that I heard of from Jeremy Sissons
BmWho said he, he moved near the motorway
EmWell 'cause it was good for commuting
AAnd I laughed in his face
F#Because I, I thought he was joking
BmBut then I, I looked in his eyes
Em AAnd I saw, he was not joking
F#No, he was trying
Chorus
Bm GTrying so, so hard
A F#/BbTo act just like a grown up
Bm GAnd it's so, so hard
A F#/BbAnd we're hoping that we don't get shown up
Bm'Cause everybody's got to grow up
Bridge
Everybody?
Are you sure?
ASo you move from Camden
Out to Hackney
F#And you stress about wrinkles
Instead of acne
BmForget about Tina
GGet in a bad mood
EAnd buy a computer
AAnd soon it will be time
BmFor some more food

Bm Em And later that first night
A F#I had a dream. that a new planet had been discovered
BmAnd through powerful telescopes
EmWe could see the inhabitants.
AAnd they seemed to be having a really good time
F#So we built a rocket
BmAnd I was on it
EmThey put us in a state of suspended animation
A F#For the duration of the journey.
BmAnd when we landed on that distant planet
EmWe all woke up.
A F#And discovered that we'd all lost our memories.
Bm EmAnd we looked back at the planet we'd just come from.
AAnd everyone there seemed to be having a really good time
F#But we couldn't return
Bm EmBecause the rocket no longer had enough fuel left in it
A F#Why telling you this story?.
I don't remember
Verse 3
BmWhy did Mowgli decide to
EmCome out of the jungle?
ATo play doctors and nurses
F#And Aunties and uncles
BmAnd cavaliers and round heads
EmAnd tarts and vicars
APlaying all night
F#To get in somebody's Knickers
BmAnd I Am not ageing
EmNo, I Am just ripening
A F#And life's too short to drink bad wine and that's frightening
BmAnd it's nearly sunset
EmAnd we haven't had lunch yet
AAnd I'm sorry for asking
F#But are we having fun yet?
Chorus
Bm GSo, so hard
A F#/BbTo act just like a grown up
Bm GAnd it's so, so hard.
A F#/BbAnd we're hoping that we don't get shown up
Bm'Cause nobody wants to grow up
Outro
One last sunset
One final blaze of glory
BmAnd I know it's all about the journey
Not the final destination
But what if you get travel sick
BmBefore you've even left the station?
