Verse 1Bm
When you were younger
A
Blue eyed boy wonder
G [Riff]
Never used to ponder on what life may hide
Bm
Now you`re older
A
the nights are so much colder
G
Never even told her how you feel inside
Pre-ChorusBmA
You were so proud with your head up in the white clouds
G
She`d call you so loud but you`d never know
BmA
Now that you`re wiser you`d never compromise her
G
Every day you`d realise her
G
But this bird has flown
ChorusDAG
And you`ve blown out all your candles one by one
BmAG
And you curse yourself for things you never done
Verse 2
She would wait for you
idolise adore you
love and reassure you you couldn`t let it be
you let it linger
slip on through your fingers
so that september she moved across the sea
Pre-Chorus
how your face dropped
how your heart stopped
sitting at the bus stop when they told you that she`d gone
so you run to the harbour
need to tell her that you love her
as the boat disappears you never felt so alone
ChorusDAG
And you`ve blown out all your candles one by one
BmAG
And you curse yourself for things you never done
`cause you`ve blown out all your candles one by one
And you curse yourself for things you never done
Where were you when her hour of need had come?
Now you curse yourself for things you never done
BmAG x2
Bridge
Now your grandson blonde haired blue eyed handsome
Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why
So your answer don`t be scared of failure
For the only failure is never to try
