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

Barney & Me  -  The Boo Radleys
(words and music by Martin Carr)
from the album "Giant Steps"

Transcribed by J. Ormaechea

Intro:

E  A  D  A  B
E  A  D  A  B
E  A  D  A  B
E  A  D  A

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
  E               A
I have to move, I cannot stay
  E                    A
Believe the voice that tells me leave it


(chorus)
E      A         E              A              E
(all behind me)I know that I, I know that I am wrong
       A            E                A               E
(all behind me)I'll never leave now, it has been too long


B B B B
      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:)

E      A         E              A              E
(all behind me)I know that I, I know that I am wrong
       A            E                 A               E
(all behind me)I'll can't escape now, it has been too long
