Tom: Em
B
[Verse 1]
C G
When I was young I said this town will live in my dust
C G
My father said “My boy that life's not for the likes of us”
C Em
But the boys in the streets, in the fast cars, they kept turning heads
C G
And I said “Boy, they’re real men, one day I’ll be one of them”
[Chorus]
Em7 C G C
The only boy racer left on the island
Em C G C
The only boy racer left on the island
[Verse 2]
C G
They say you could hear the engine from the mainland
C G
When I was 10, saw the high street hero speeding round the bend
C Em C
But those engines got sold when the speed freaks settled down in the south
C G
I guess masculinity’s a pursuit left to the embers of youth
[Chorus]
Em7 C G C
The only boy racer left on the island
Em C G C
The only boy racer left on the island
Em7 D
The only joys of holding on
Am C
The vines and leaves all gathering on
G D C
The only boy racer left on the island
[Outro]
G Em G D Am C Bm
No man gets left behind
Bm Em D C G
No man gets left behind
