The Boo Radleys were a British guitar band of the 1990's who made experimental indie music, and were briefly associated with the Britpop movement. They took their name from the reclusive character of Boo Radley from Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill A Mockingbird.
They were formed in Wallasey, England in 1988, with singer/guitarist Sice aka Simon Rowebottom, guitarist/songwriter Martin Carr, bassist Timothy Brown and original drummer Steve Hewitt.

It sounds right, and better still if you add some heavy distortion going into the second verse. Corrections, additions, ETC (if applicable) are welcome.

Intro:
EADAB EADAB EADAB EADA
E Now it's getting colder A My hands chilled to the bone E I watch your breath and trace it's steps A as it mingles with my own E Lake is almost frozen A The grass is silver hair E The wind is high in the blue sky E I wish that I could care
E I recall when we were younger, A we shared the streets of home E spoke of our dreams and soaring schemes A of places we would go E If I stay around much longer A I'll never leave again EA I have to move, I cannot stay EA Believe the voice that tells me leave it
(chorus) EAEAE (all behind me)I know that I, I know that I am wrong AEAE (all behind me)I'll never leave now, it has been too long
BBBB And...
Now I'm getting older, I still can't find the words To empathize with what's inside, express the way I feel Now I'm getting older, it's easier to hide, To run away, don't have to stay betray the voice that tells me leave it
(play chorus once, then:)
EAEAE (all behind me)I know that I, I know that I am wrong AEAE (all behind me)I'll can't escape now, it has been too long
