Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well there was a time when life caught you by surprise.

What you see going by is a shadow.

You've got to live in front of your eyes.

In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past.

In a typical day we'll stay to see what's gonna last.

Riff 1

Repeat same as above

Well there was a place we'd chase through the woods in my juvenile days.

What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place to stay.

But I could have cried but I just left my soul to fly.

And I could have chilled at will, but I didn't know how to die.

Well there was a time when I could have flown out of the room.

And I could have died, but I chose to live here instead.

I say now way back when you and all your friends

Had some good times we should do this again we'd say

Hey, hey, hey we should do this again, we'd say.
