Back In Time Lyrics

Pre>intro em am am7

G em
You stop in the old cafe where you used to play pinball
C am
And look for the air-raid shelter but it's gone and the cafe seems so
G em
Small and all the gardens that had trees and stolen apples
C am
Now have small businesses flourishing in cinder blocks
G em am c
Then they will call your name and hand you a gold watch
G em am c
Then they will call your name but it doesn't sound like much
G em c am
And you'll never discover why it's like an old lover
G em am c
You can't touch anymore it doesn't mean much anymore
G em em am am7 em em am am7
When you go back in time back in time

You head down to the local try to find a focal point
A scratch in the wallpaper but it's all been wallpapered over
Down at the newsagents it's all pornography
And you try to get high again but it's like time-lapse photography
Then they will call your name and hand you a medal
Or something more practical like a whistling kettle
And it'll test your metal just try to keep grinningGraham Parker - Back In Time - http://motolyrics.com/graham-parker/back-in-time-lyrics.html
Knowing that this feeling is indulgence worse than sinning

Trying to go back in time

Instrumental section (chords like verse but not as many.)

G em
Photographs with a glossy finish letters lovers never finished
C am (g)
And there in a dusty drawer a necktie you once wore
G em
And a girl you tried to court made you feel about two feet short
C am
Where is she now today? what would she have to say?
G em am c
Then they will call your name and hand you a pension
G em am c
A bottle of pills that guarantee life extension
G em c am
And give you a mention in the local boy makes good section
G em am c
But all the old news is like print stains across your mind
G em em am em em am
When you go back in time

Yes all this old news is just print stains across your mind
When you go back in time, back in time (repeat and fade) /pre>
