Fmaj7   Gm
Come on home
          Fmaj7                    Gm
There's a hole the size of ancient Rome
Fmaj7   Gm
Come on back
       Fmaj7               Gm
You're giving me a heart attack
Fmaj7  Gm
We are young
Fmaj7                         Gm
Running through the fields of life
Fmaj7                      Gm
Playing all the games that people play
         Fmaj7                      Gm
When you see them in the films from yesterday

Chorus:
         Gm           F
Give a chance to the old
         Gm                         F
Set the record straight for the welfare state
        Gm            F
Give a chance to the young
     Gm              F           C
Everyone deserves a life in the sun

Twenty years,
I know that's when my love appeared
Twenty turns we took together 'round the sun
We are old, trekking in the fields of snow
Follow in my footsteps, noble page,
never fear from time or cold or age

Chorus

I don't care if it's cold outside
'Cause my baby keeps me warm
And I don't care what my boss is saying
'Cause I left my mind at home
I know you worry 'bout the way we live
The things we could have done
But if you're loving other people close
You will never be alone

Bm7     A
I watch I wait
  Bm7                                    A
I know that we'll never be together in that way
D
Doesn't stop me wishing
Doesn't stop me praying
E
Doesn't stop me wishing
Doesn't stop me praying

Come on home, there is room beside me on the throne
We are king and queen of might've been,
heirs apparent to the scene
Come on back, we are racing the eternal track
Step for step and toe to toe,
I will take your arm and off we go

Chorus:
We will try to be true
Often time corrupts what you thought you knew
We will try to be fair
If you hide your love it will wither and fade

Give a chance to the old
Set the record straight for the welfare state
Give a chance to the young
Everyone deserves a life in the sun
