No one was crying
They simply got a little something in their eye
No one was lonely
They just could not get hold of anybody
Over the summer, a lot changed
And they all changed to keep up with it
Too complicated
Too complex to talk to anybody

[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to pro[Em/B]ve it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)

All this is sky light
Forget that it’s there but it’s there, no doubt about it
Take a photo of it, come back years on
And wonder why you took it
Thousands of people
Tight lines and hopes the weather stays the weekend
Clouds and rain
And no one cares ‘til they’ve got the marks to prove it

[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)
(Rolling shadows, fallen arrows)

[Instrumental]

[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Rolling shadow)
[Dm/A]Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove[Em/B] it (Fallen arrow)

[Instrumental]

I understand that it never ends
She’s waiting round every corner; round every bend
And it hurts to know that I won’t know if you knew how the summer went
I understand silence

I understand that it never ends
She’s waiting round every corner; round every bend
When you’re scared and lost don’t let it all build up
Break the silence

Someone to call a best friend
Someone to be there when it ends
When you’re scared and lost don’t let it all[G/] build up
Break the silence

[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(Abm)]Taste like nothing else
Help like nothing else
Ease you and comfort and seem
Something like happiness

Oooooh
[(A)]You just know when you know you just know
Oooooh
[(A)]You got somewhere to go when you go

[(F#m)]If you love them
[(F#m)]Go and tell them
[(Abm)]Tell them over and over and over again
Heaven forbid opportunities missed

If it’s over
Let it be over
Cause when time and again you have tried it again
And you’ve worn it right down to the bone

Oooooh
[(A)]You just know when you know you just know
Oooooh
[(A)]You got somewhere to go when you go

[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(Abm)]Taste like nothing else
Help like nothing else
Ease you and comfort and seem
Something like happiness

[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(F#m)]Must be like nothing else
[(Abm)]Taste like nothing else
Help like nothing else
Ease you and comfort and seem
Something like happiness

1st Verse

----------------------

Drinking when you’re drunken
To chase down the evening
God that girl goes graceful
Wondering which way’s home
I heard nothing was changing
And that’s the shirt you’re wearing
No wonder no one’s noticed
That the summer’s been and gone
No one says a word
Because it breaks a heart
Submarine keep diving
Seagulls at the waste bins
Wish them all a winter
Must be rough at sea

-----------------------

Chorus

-----------------------

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get old

-----------------------

2nd Verse

-----------------------

Steaming at the corners
When the blue pulled over
Said he wanted seasons
Miss red hot October
The Black Maria
Is where he finds his honour
The darker the corner
Now the summer’s been and gone
No one says a word because it breaks her heart
The coming and the going
Blame it on the ocean
Or coastal erosion
It must be rough at sea

-----------------------

Chorus (x2)

-----------------------

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get old

He’s given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he’s cried since he was seven years old
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get old
You get old

Outro

No one says a word
Because it breaks her heart…

[Verse 1]

Seen it spinning round

Out of all control

Twinkle, drink’ll star

Spinning out, spinning out

There’s one to wash down

One to wash it out

One for the Postman’s Park

Spit him out, spit him out…

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]

And he gets to the English coast

To the place he loved the most

Where the spinnakers on boats

Are filling out, filling out, out, out…

Filling out….

Filling out…

Filling out

And we get to guessing games

Where no one knows their names

Guess no one’s going home

Home
Staying out, out, out

Staying out…

Staying out…

Staying out

[Instrumental Break / Middle 8]

What are we doing now? What are we doing now?

What are we doing now? What are we doing now?

What are we doing now? What are we doing now? What are we doing now?

What are we doing now? What are we doing now?

What are we doing now? What are we doing now?

What are we doing now? What are we doing now?

What are doing now?

[Bridge}

Come on, come on, it’s going to get easier from now

Come on, come on, it’s going to get easier somehow

Oh, what are we doing now? What are we doing now?

Oh, what are we doing now? What are we doing now?

The storm came and tore limbs from the trees

Like a drowning whale

And the thought of it brought us all down to our knees…

Oh, what are we doing now? What are we doing now?

Oh, what are we doing now? What are we doing now?

Spit it out…

Spit it out…

Spit it out…

Spit it out, spit it out, out, out

E Am D G C (x3)
