Once I went back and
    G              D6/F#
I stayed on the street
        A
Where I used to live
Amaj7  F#m7add11
    Bm
Got up in the morning
 G
Put on my boots and
    E               Esus4  E
I crossed the road
           Bm
Stood in front of our house
          G
And went back to my
          E     Esus4  E
tricycle times
       Asus2       E/A
At the end of the terrace
   G            D6/F#
I looked up the alley
      A
And there he was
Amaj7  F#m7add11
   Bm
A little blonde boy
         G
With a stick in his hands
           E          Esus4 E
looking straight at me
        Bm
And if he wasn’t me
         G
Then my god, he was just
       E          Esus4  E
like I used to be

became half the man

That I used to be
