Sovereign Light Café

[Verse 1]
          B
I'm going back to a time when we owned this town
        E
Down Powder Mill Lane,
in the battlegrounds
C#m            B               G#m            F#sus4
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
F#                        B
  I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you
              E
When we talked about things we were gonna do
C#m         B                  G#m      F#sus4 F#
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

[Chorus]
                    E                   B
We'd go down to the rides on East Parade
             G#m                    F#
By the lights   of the Palace Arcade
                       E                          G#m     F#sus4
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light   Café
F#                         B
  I'm begging you for some sign

[Verse 2]
But you've still got nothing to say
          E
Don't turn your back on me,
don't walk away
C#m      B                     G#m        F#sus4 F#
I'm a better man now than I was   that day

[Chorus]
                    E                   B
We'd go down to the rides on East Parade
             G#m                    F#
By the lights   of the Palace Arcade
                       E
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign
     B     F#sus4 F#             B
Light Café         Let's go down
       E                    B
to the bandstand on the pier
                G#m                     F#
Watch the drunks   and the lovers appear
To take turns,
       E                           B     F#sus4
as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café

[Bridge]
F#       E F#sus4    B             F#sus4
  I wheel  my    bike off the train
            F#
Up the North  Trade Road
        E F#sus4   B              F#sus4
And look  for   you on Marley Lane
              F#               G#m
In every building, every street   sign
                F#   E                 F# G#m
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
F#                               B
  Well you've got nothing to hide

[Break]
You can't change who you really are
           E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m         B
You can run away boy,
             G#m      F#sus4 F#
but you won't   go far

[Chorus]
                    E                   B
We'd go down to the rides on East Parade
             G#m                    F#
By the lights   of the Palace Arcade
                       E
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign
     B     F#sus4 F#             B
Light Café         Let's go down
       E                    B
to the bandstand on the pier
                G#m                     F#
Watch the drunks   and the lovers appear
To take turns,
       E                           B     F#sus4
as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café
F#          E
  Sha La la la la la

[Post-Chorus]
    B    G#m
Yeah Yeah
    F#                         E       B F#sus4 F# B
I'm going where the people know my name
