As recorded by Madness
(From the 1984 Album KEEP MOVING)



[Intro]
Bb


[Verse 1]
Eb                                  Bb
It's been some time since the smile upon my face
Ab
Had I sneaked previewing town
     Bb
It's been a while since I gave chase
F                                  C
It's been some time since the girl from round my way
Bb
Came and took me by the hand
C                Db
Been a long time since I came around
Eb                    Bb
I can remember when I stood on my head
Ab
Walking straight across the ground
      Bb
Still picture their laughing faces


[Chorus]
F         Eb                  Ab   G
Catch me, I'm falling into my past
F             Eb                    Ab    G
Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh


[Verse 2]
Eb                          Bb
I was told to grow up soon, face my consequences
Ab                           Bb
Being told it was high time, high time to come to my senses
F                             C
Climbing up to the top floor, stood the look of pleasure
Bb                    C             Db
Such a silly aged man with an attic full of treasure


[Chorus]
G         F                   Bb   A
Catch me, I'm falling into my past
G           F                     Bb    A
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh


[Interlude]
Eb  Bb  Ab  Bb  Eb
Bb  Ab  Bb B


[Bridge]
Db                       Ebm7
Remember when I was ten, things were somewhat better then
Db                         Gb
Time went by so easily, is this the way life's supposed to be?
    Db                           Ebm
But looking back I wonder why it seems to pass so quickly by
Db                           Gb                               Eb
Memories can make you cry, I close my eyes, my tears I try to hide


[Verse 3]
Eb                  Bb
I was thinking about Tamer Lane
Ab
Of all the funny places
Bb
I was thinking, a short time ago


[Chorus]
F         Eb                  Ab   G
Catch me, I'm falling into my past
F             Eb                    Ab    G
Catch me, the deeper the louder the laugh
          F                   Bb   A
Catch me, I'm falling into my past
F           Eb                    Ab    G
Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh


[Outro]
Eb    Bb    Ab    Bb
Eb    Bb    Ab    Bb
Eb    Bb    Ab
