[Verse 1] (Intro riff played throughout verse)

               E
Well we were born within an hour of each other

Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
              A
Your name is Deborah, Deborah - it never suited you
          E
And they said that when we grew up

We'd get married and never split up
            A
Oh we never did, although I often thought of it


[Bridge]

                           Bm Bsus2 Bm Bsus2 etc
Oh Deborah, do you recall?

Your house was very small

With woodchip on the wall

And when I came round to call
                       E
You didn't notice me at alllllllll


[Chorus]

              A
And I said, let's all meet up in the year 2000
C#m                                        F#m
won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
                            Bm               E
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
A
I never knew that you'd get married
C#m
I would be living down here on my own
         F#m                Bm              E
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago


[Verse 2] (Intro riff played throughout verse)

E
You were the first girl in school to get breasts

Martin said that you were the best
                A
Oh the boys all loved you, but I was a mess

I had to watch 'em try to get you undressed
        E
We were friends that was as far as it went

I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
                     A
Oh it meant nothing to you

cos you were, oh so popular

[Middle Eight] (Spoken over intro riff)

Do it, oh yeah, oh yeah. And now it's all over. You've paid your money
and you've taken your choice and I know we'll never meet again.
But Deborah, I just wanted you to know I remember every single thing.
