[Intro]
Bm  A  G  (x2)

[Verse 1]
Bm
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-Chorus]
Bm                           A
You were so proud with your head up in the white clouds
G
She`d call you so loud but you`d never know
Bm                          A
Now that you`re wiser you`d never compromise her
G
Every day you`d realise her but this bird has flown

[Chorus]
           D                  A              G
And you`ve blown out all your candles one by one
        Bm                 A                G       Bm  A  G    Bm  A  G        
And you curse yourself for things you never done

[Verse 2]
Bm  
She would wait for you
A
Idolise adore you
G
Love and reassure you, you couldn`t let it be
Bm
You let it linger
A
Slip on through your fingers
G
So that September she moved across the sea

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                      A
How your face drops and how your heart stopped
G
Sitting at the bus stop when they told you that she`d gone
       Bm                    A
So you run to the harbour to tell her that you love her
       G
As the boat disappears you never felt so alone

[Chorus]
           D                  A              G
And you`ve blown out all your candles one by one
        Bm                 A                G              
And you curse yourself for things you never done
D                       A                G
Where were you when her hour of need had come?
        Bm                 A                G           
Now you curse yourself for things you never done

[Verse 3]
Bm                
Now your grandson 
A
Blonde-haired blue-eyed handsome
G
Calls you up from London and sits and asks you why
Bm             
So your answer 
A
Don`t be scared of failure
G                N.C.
The only failure is never to try
Bm  A           G                   Bm  A           G      Bm  A  G    Bm  A  G        
......never to try....never to try........never to try

[Outro]
    D                       A                G
And where were you when her hour of need had come?
        Bm                 A                G       Bm  A  G      
Now you curse yourself for things you never done
