F#                 G#
We used to walk Mancunian Way
We used to swagger, we used to sway
Up until the lights took us away
Do you know what you meant to me?
We used to think we were the bomb
Then someone left a real one
We stayed indoors as the rain come
Back then it made no sense to me

C#                B                    A
I'm missing your face, your beautiful face
                E/G#
It's funny that I recall
      F#m                     C/E
They gave us the keys to the city
                   F#m
But they don't fit anything
         G#m
But I'm coming anyway

Chorus:
C#           B
 I hear you calling
F#/A#         A
 I came back running
E             F#
 Forgot that feeling
A              B
 Been so long coming
C#                B
 They tried to stop her
F#/A#            A
 She just got stronger
E            F#
I'm driving home again
A               B
 Back down Mancunian Way

I just forgot how it is to feel
To dance and move and keep it real
Been lying down for ten long years
But I was there and it feels like yesterday

I'm missing you face, your beautiful face
It's funny that I recall
You came when I was pretty
But that don't work no more
But I'm coming anyway

Chorus

F#m                   E
Now I stand here in front of you
B                    F#/A#
I know now what I'm gonna do
F#m                        E
My shoulder's low, but my head is high
B                     F#/A#
I'm gonna bring this town alive
F#m            E
Through this acidic rain
B                     F#/A#  C#
I'm gonna come back to life again

Chorus - x3
