[D] [G#]
[Bm] We're inside Battle Abbey.
This is [D#] part of [A] the famous battlefield
where, you know, the Battle of Hastings took place.
[Bm]
There were a lot of ghosts here, do you [A] know what I mean?
Like, it felt very [D#] spooky.
[A] In amongst those trees, there's a little [A] lake,
which they [Bm]
used to call the Lake of Blood,
[E] because supposedly it was formed by all the blood
running off the [A] battlefield.
I walked across [C#m] an empty land
[Bm]
I knew the pathway [E] like the back of my [A] hand
I grew up just over there.
You know, you can almost see my mum and dad's house.
Tom [Bm] and Richard and I all lived here.
[A] We used to go to the pub in town.
And I could genuinely do it in complete darkness
without being able to see anything.
[Bm] Yeah, and then it made me think of that line [A] about
I knew [E] the pathway like the back of my [F#m] hand.
Oh, simple thing, [C#m] where have you gone?
[D]
I'm getting old and I need something to [E] rely [F#m] on
So tell me when [C#m] you're gonna let me in
[D]
I'm getting tired and I need [D] somewhere to [E] begin
You know, it was a very small town life,
so there was nothing else to do really as teenagers in battle.
So we'd just kind of come and wander around in the dark
and hang out and talk nonsense and dream our dreams
of being in a famous band.
Be like the Beatles or I don't know,
I don't know what we were thinking, Queen [A] or something.
I came across a fallen [Bm] tree
I felt the branches [E] as they were kicking [A] me
Is this the place we used to [Bm] love?
Is this the place that [E] I've been dreaming of?
[A]
The Battle of Hastings 1,000 years ago
was certainly the most famous thing to ever happen in battle.
[N] And you know, it's been pretty quiet ever since.
So the dream of being in a band that went anywhere
seemed pretty insane, I suppose.
But then we all went to London, we moved to London
and we used to play a lot in London.
But then it was, we never really got anywhere.
It was very difficult to, obviously,
it's very difficult to get noticed and get a [Fm] record deal
and have any success.
So we kind of ended up retreating to battle.
And I think at that point, it didn't feel so good.
Being back here felt like we'd given up
and we'd kind of been beaten.
[B]
And this dream that we had was very close to disappearing.
So I think we felt like coming back here into these places
felt like our refuge and the place
that we came back to keep [F#] dreaming.
Oh, sympathy, [G#] where have you gone?
[D]
I'm getting old and I need something to rely [A] on.
So I used to sit at my mom and dad's piano
and I had [Bm] Heroes by David Bowie in [A] my head.
And I just, yeah, started kind of hammering out these chords
with Heroes in my [A] mind.
And [Bm] I was just kind of in a, almost in a trance,
like [E] for hours.
And by the end of it, there was this song.
[Bm]
And if you have [A] a minute, why [E] don't we
[Bm] go talk about [A] somewhere [E] only we [Bm] know?
This can be [A] the end of everything.
[D] So I thought we'd go [E] somewhere only [A] we know.
[D]
I remember feeling at the time like, [A] somewhere only [C#m] we [Bm] know.
This is good.
[E] [F#]
And we were [G#] saying, well, wouldn't it
be amazing if this got into the top [D] 40?
And then from there, [D] maybe the next single will do well
and we can just build it.
And [A] you feel like you're on the start of a journey that's
going to be a long process to keep building things.
And then [G#] it was a huge hit.
[Bm] So that was amazing.
Then the [E] album came out and it was number one for months.
[Bm]
This is the best day of [A] my life.
[Bm] [A] I'm going to live it up.
I'm going to live [Bm] it up.
This can [A] be the end of everything.
[Bm]
So I thought we'd go.
So I thought we'd go.
What makes music [A] good and makes it connect with people
is when it's [Bm] most true and most sincere and [A] most real.
So maybe coming back [Bm] here sparked something in us
that [A] felt much more close to our core.
[Bm]
It was maybe different from [E] being up in London
with all the other bands and trying to be [G] rock and roll and whatever.
[D] It's ironic [C#m] that coming back here with our heads [Bm] down
and feeling defeated actually probably [E] led to us getting heard
and [D] having all that good fortune.
[N]
[E] [Em]

I'm getting old and I need something to [E] rely [F#m] on
