VERSE 1 C=E G=B Em=Gmaj# D=f# A=C#
E B
I had no cares in the 1990s
Gmaj# f#
I knew of no downfalls
E B
Though war was breaking out all around me
Gmaj# f#
My concerns were with prank calls
E
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
B Gmaj# f#
Right in front of the older kids
E B
When our self belief, our self belief
Gmaj# C#
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
C#
Cos now it feels like...
CHORUS
E B
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Gmaj# B
And the more I give the less I get
E B
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Gmaj# f#
There's little here to miss...
E
Bring back 1996
B Gmaj
Bring back 1996
f# E
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
B Gmaj# C#
Bring back 1996
VERSE 2
E B
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
Gmaj# f#
We were building telescopes
E B
And sugar filled the whole of my body
Gmaj# f#
As I urged it on to grow

BRIDGE
E B
Stop talking, stop talking
Gmaj# f#
I need a lover not a friend tonight
E B
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Gmaj# f#
I'm not cut out for the modern life
