Intro: B Gb B Gb

Verse 1:
B               Gb
Looking back at white and black
  Abm           Gb
Reminders of my past
B              Gb
Smoky bars and cheap guitars
    Abm              Gb
But nothing built to last

Chorus:
Gb           E
Nothing ever stays
                 B
Nothing comes to mind
Gb          Abm
No one can erase
    E              B    Gb E
The days we left behind

Verse 2:
B                Gb
 See the boys of Dungeon Lane
 Abm             Gb
Along the Mersey shore
B                 Gb
Some of them will feel the pain
    Abm                 Gb
But some were meant for more

Chorus:
Gb                E
Nothing stays the same
                B
No one needs to cry
Gb            Abm
Nothing can reclaim
    E              B
The days we left behind

Bridge:
Abm
  We met at Forthlin Road
Ebm
  And wrote a secret code
Abm           Ebm
  To never be spoken
B
 I stand by what I said
Gb
 The promise that I made
E              Gb
 Will never be broken

Chorus:
Gb           E
Nothing ever stays
                 B
Nothing comes to mind
    Gb          Abm
And no one can erase
    E              B    Gb E
The days we left behind

Verse 3:
B                  Gb
 In the skies, the skylarks rise
 Abm                Gb
Above the sounds of war
B                 Gb
Since that day, I knew they’d stay
     Abm       Gb
With me forevermore

Chorus:
       Gb                E
’Cause nothing stays the same
                    B
And no one needs to cry
    Gb           Abm
And no one is to blame
        E              B
For the days we left behind

Outro:
    E              B    Gb B  Abm Gb B
The days we left behind
