INTRO: C C C C
FFCCGGCCC
It seems so long, so many years,
FC
Since that old school song echoed in my ears.
GC
You made plans - I played in a Band.
C
You wanted flowers and walks in the park,
FC
I wanted sound-checks and getting up after dark.
GC
You made plans - I played in a Band.
CHORUS:
C
Did you marry anyone? Have you got some sprogs? Did you buy a big house? Have you got a pet dog?
FC
Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?
GC
Did you have a nice life without me?
C
We were young, I didn't understand.
FC
Life was fun, no time for making plans.
GC
You made plans - I played in a Band.
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK:
AEC
(Your friends all wanted) "our tunes" and school run 4 x 4's
FCGG
and my friends just practice indoors
AEC
(Your friends all) booked their honeymoons. And bought their wedding cakes
FCGG
My friends just got in the way.
SOLO: C C C C

BREAK:
AEC
(Your mum said) "give him the elbow, he's running your life"
FCGG
And my mum said "you'd make a lovely wife".
AEC
(Your brother told me) "p**s off or he'd knock me down the stairs" -
FCGG
What a love affair.
C
Then our dreams grew up and went their separate ways.
FC
Two young lovers - a lifetime away
GC
You made plans - I played in a Band.
CHORUS:

Did it all turn out how you wanted it to be?

Did you have a nice life without me?

Did you have a nice life without me?
