Dm7   G            C
As I button up my winter coat
Dm7         G           C
There’s a chill in the air
Dm7       G               C    Am
I hope I won’t be seeing you again
Dm7     G        C
Like I did last year

Chorus:
F      C   G     C
Young fire old flame
 F       C           G     C
Look at you, you’re back again
 F           C           G         Am
Weighing me down like a ten tonne train
F      C    G     C
Young fire, old flame

As the nights are drawing in my dear
I can feel him in the air
I’ve lit the spark, there’s no way out
He’s here, he’s here

Chorus

    Dm
And nobody understands it
C/E   F
They can’t see my pain
     C
I’m lying in the dark wishing
         G
I could see the light again
     Dm
And nobody understands
C/E      F
There’s nothing they can see
 C
Looking in their eyes,
        G
I only wish that they’d believe

Chorus

Too many years it’s been happening
And I can never see the end
The weight is getting heavy now
Goodbye my friend

Chorus - x2
