Standard (EADGBE)

Once upon a time you and I

when we were green and easy

fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky

There was nothing we can sell or buy

'Cause all we really needed

was our barefeet and a pair of wings to fly.

Pre-chorus

What do you think darling?

Have we lived too much too fast?

And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,

wishing the time hadn't passed?

Chorus

Can you tell me how it used to be?

Have we missed our chance?

Have we changed our hopes for fears

and our dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be

when we really cared?

and when love was on our side

on our side.

{ [---]x2

And the piano goes:(D# - F - F# - F - C# - A# - D# - F - F# - F - C - A#)x2 }

I remember all times before,

when could spend our livings,

staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor.

Our bocabulary wasn't broad,

I spoke so little English

than the word "stress" would sound like something odd.

Pre-chorus

What do you think darling?

Have we lived too much too fast?

And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,

wishing the time hadn't passed?

Chorus

Can you tell me how it used to be?

Have we missed our chance?

Have we changed our hopes for fears

and our dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be

when we really cared?

and when love was on our side

on our side.

[---]x2 And the piano.

Bridge

What is your guess darlin'?

Have I lived too much too fast?

so If you, If you ever come and find me cryin'

now you know, now you know why...

Chorus

Can you tell me how it used to be?

Have we missed our chance?

Have we changed our hopes for fears

and our dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be

when we really cared?

and when love was on our side

on our side.
