G               D/F# 
Looking back at white and black
 Em             D 
Reminders of my past
G              D/F# 
Smoky bars and cheap guitars
  Em              D 
But nothing built to last

D            C 
Nothing ever stays
                G 
Nothing comes to mind
D          Em 
No one can erase
 C                G     D  C 
The days we left behind

G               D/F# 
See the boys of Dungeon Lane
 Em              D 
Along the Mersey shore
G                 D/F# 
Some of them will feel the pain
    Em                  D 
But some were meant for more

D                  C 
Nothing stays the same
                 G 
No one needs to cry
D            Em 
Nothing can reclaim
    C              G 
The days we left behind

Em 
 We met at Forthlin Road
Bm 
 And wrote a secret code
Em            Bm 
 To never be spoken
G 
 I stand by what I said
D 
 The promise that I made
C              D 
 Will never be broken

D            C
Nothing ever stays
                 G 
Nothing comes to mind
   D        Em 
No one can erase
 C                 G   D  C 
The days we left behind

G                 D 
In the skies, the skylarks rise
   Em               D 
Above the sounds of war
G                  D 
Since that day, I knew they'd stay
     Em
With me for evermore

         D                 C 
'Cause nothing stays the same
                   G 
And no one needs to cry
    D          Em 
No one is to blame
        C                G 
For the days we left behind
    C              G    D  G   Em  D  G 
The days we left behind
