C
[Verse 1]
C
At fifteen we had to leave the States again
C F
Dad was stationed at an RAF base they called Mildenhall
C
Black moss on a busted wall
C
The cobblestones made it hard to skate
C
I thought my flattop was so new wave
F C
Until it melted away in the Suffolk rain
G7 C
Well god damn, you miss the USA
[Chorus]

Then a kid in class passed me a tape
F C G7
An invitation, not the hand of fate
[Verse 2]

I guess my shoes said I might relate
C F
Somehow she knew I'd like to stay up waiting with her in the cold

For cheap beer and rock 'n roll

Which in time put lots of things in my mind
[Chorus]

A kid in class passed me a tape
F C G7
We saw some bands down at the corn exchange
[Verse 3]

I wonder where my sister was that night
C
Back at home under the tanning bed lights
F
I can still see the glow
C
Strange rays from her window
G7 C
Each night, as I was skating home
C
Started messing with my dad's guitar
C
Taught me some chords just to start me off
F C
Whittling away on those rainy days
G7 C
And that's how we get to where we are now
[Chorus]

A kid in class passed me a tape
