Once I went back and I stayed on the street
        A             Amaj7  F#m11
Where I used to live
    Bm
Got up in the morning
 G                      E               Esus4  E
Put on my boots and I crossed the road
           Bm
Stood in front of our house
          G                   E     Esus4  E
And went back to my tricycle times


       Asus2       E/A       G            D6/F#
At the end of the terrace I looked up the alley
      A           Amaj7  F#m11
And there he was
   Bm
A little blonde boy
         G                           E            Esus4  E
With a stick in his hands looking straight at me
        Bm
And if he wasn’t me
         G                      E           Esus4  E
Then my god, he was just like I used to be


     C#m7
We stared at each other
     Dsus2        A/C#       E           Esus4  E  E
But he stared me down and I looked away
C#m7
After a moment
     Dsus2      A/C#        E
When I turned again he was gone

   Asus2        E/A     G             D6/F#
I don’t think I ever became half the man
       A           Amaj7  F#m11
That I used to be
     Bm
The warrior captain
     G                       E   Esus4  E
The bold pirate king of the sea
 Asus2  E/A         G
Nobody does me like I do
     D6/F#           A         Amaj7  F#m11
Or that’s what they say to me
           Bm
But I’m a pale imitation
           G                 E            Esus4  E
I’ve been keeping my secret safe with me
