Verse 1:
When [C]we were at school I thought he [F]had it sussed

[C]Smoking, drinking, [F]acting cool.
('Til) they [G]started treating him like a fool
Then he [C]stayed on his own for [F]most of the time
[C]Dreaming dreams of a [G]life of crime
[C]In and out of trouble, he [F]cheated and lied
But [G]who'd have thought he'd join the other side

Verse 2:
[C]Down to Hendon with the [F]boys in blue
