[Intro]
a F G

[Verse 1]
      F      Am                  G
Dear Justin, I know it's been a long time
                          F                          
Remember all those nights we spent sitting up talking
        Am            G 
     in your front room
                   F                     Am         
About leaving this worn out world and starting again
            G                  F
      far away in a better place
              Am           F                       G
Well that's where I am now... but still thinking about you


[Chorus]
                 Am                   F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 Am                   F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 Am                   F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 Am                                  F            G
I'm never going back to the bad old world (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)


[Verse 2]
   F               Am                        G
I was travelling with Laurel way up on the north coast
                  F               Am          G
She's got family living up here in a nearby town
            F                        Am            
We found a piece of land that looks out towards the 
            G                  F
     North Sea islands across the bay
                Am                       
And the sun is shining on the water today
       F                    G
      as I look out of our front door


[Chorus]
                 Am                  F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 Am                  F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 Am                  F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 Am                                 F            G
I'm never going back to the bad old world (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)

a F a F G  (2x)


[Special]
         F                              Am                   G
Are you still scared of the future?....well that doesn't suprise me
                       F                  Am                        G
You could come up and stay here a while, back off from the killing wheel
           F                     Am              
I used to think it was me who'd somehow sold out
         G                         F
      or given in on some almighty cause
          Am                           F                       G
But what difference would it make.....it feels good to be out here


[Chorus]
                 a                   F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 a                   F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 a                   F            G
I'm never going back there (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
                 a                                  F            G
I'm never going back to the bad old world (da, da, daa; da, da, daa)
