The Wombats - 1996

capo on 4


[Verse 1]

C                        G
I had no cares in the 1990s
Em               D
I knew of no downfalls
C                                   G
Though war was breaking out all around me
Em                         D
My concerns were with prank calls

C
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
G         Em                 D
Right in front of the older kids
C                                 G
When our self belief, our self belief
         Em                    A
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
A
cos now it feels like...


[chorus]

C                 G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em              G
and the more I give the less I get
C                 G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em                     D
There's little here to miss...

             C
bring back 1996
G           Em
bring back 1996
D                               C
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
G            Em    D
bring back 1996


[Verse 2]

C                                G
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
Em                     D
We were building telescopes
C                                   G
and sugar filled the whole of my body
Em                   D
as I urged it on to grow

C
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
G       Em                 D
Just to impress the older kids
C                                 G
When my self belief, my self belief
        Em                  A
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
A
cos now it feels like...


[chorus]

C                 G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em              G
and the more I give the less I get
C                 G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em                     D
There's little here to miss...

             C
bring back 1996
G           Em   A
bring back 1996


[bridge]

C                      G
Stop talking, stop talking
Em                     D
I need a lover not a friend tonight
C                   G
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Em                       A
I'm not cut out for the modern life


[Outro]
