Verse 1:
A
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
D5
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
A F#m Esus4 E
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
Verse 2:
A
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
D5
When we thought about things we were gonna do
A F#m Esus4 E
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
Chorus:
D A
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
F#m E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
D A Esus4 E
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
Verse 3:
A
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
D5
Or I'm turning back home and I'm walking away
A F#m Esus4 E
I'm a better man now than I was that day
Chorus
D A
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
F#m E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
D A Esus4 E
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
D A
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
F# E
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
D A Esus4 E
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
Bridge:
D Esus4 A E
I wheel my bike off the train,
Up the North Trade Road,
D Esus4 A E
Look for you on Marley Lane
F#m
In every building, every streetlight
D Esus4 E
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
Verse 4:

You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
F#m E
by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night going down on the Sovereign Light Café
D A
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
