And the d[Am]ays of being young and free
Are left there with the memories that b[Em]low in the w[G]ind

They last all[Em] through the week, I feel it on[G] Sunday too
And [F]I can feel it coming when my kn[Am]ees feel weak
And I can[Em] not speak the tr[G]uth
The days of being yo[C]ung, the days of being f[Am]ree

The stories I could t[C]ell, the lies are told as w[Am]ell
What I wouldn't g[Em]ive to l[F]ive it a[G]ll aga[C]in
The ye[C]ars are passing, every single day
W[Am]here did they go? Did you take them all away?
Now I[Em]'m older and br[G]ave
And the ch[C]ildren, they all left
They fled their family nest
And n[Am]ow we're all alone
And the house don't feel like home anym[Em]ore, anymo[G]re
And [F]I can feel it coming when the M[Am]onday morning blues
They last all[Em] through the week, I feel it on[G] Sunday too
And [F]I can feel it coming when my kn[Am]ees feel weak
And I can[Em] not speak the tr[G]uth
The days of being yo[C]ung, the days of being f[Am]ree
They're etched upon my f[Em]ace in every light that you s[F]ee[G]
The stories I could t[C]ell, the lies are told as w[Am]ell
What I wouldn't g[Em]ive to l[F]ive it a[G]ll aga[C]in
And in my b[F]aby's eyes I lived it [Am]all again
The fe[C]ar, the surprise,[F] everyth[G]ing
In my b[F]aby's eyes I lived it [Am]all again
And I wouldn't ch[C]ange anyth[F]ing[G]
In my b[F]aby's eyes I lived it [Am]all again
And I wouldn't ch[C]ange anyth[F]ing[G]

[Am] Every[G]one's always m[F]oving
[Am] I'm standing st[G]ill for all the t[F]ime
[Am] Thoughts that [G]I was l[F]iving
[Am] Echoes i[G]n my m[F]ind
[Am] There's so much m[G]ore that [C]I could b[F]e
[Am] So many plac[G]es that I'll n[C]ever s[F]ee
[Am] So many lives[G] that I'll n[C]ever m[F]eet
I'll just dr[Am]eam until we g[G]et there in the e[C]nd
[Am] Always th[G]inking 'bout t[F]omorrow
[Am] Before tod[G]ay is even thr[F]ough
[Am] Always th[G]inking 'bout the f[F]uture
[Am] What on e[G]arth will happen [F]to you?
[Am] There's so much m[G]ore that [C]I could [F]be
[Am] So many plac[G]es that I'll n[C]ever s[F]ee
[Am] So many lives[G] that I'll n[C]ever m[F]eet
I'll just dr[Am]eam until we g[G]et there in the e[C]nd
And if the w[F]orld stops spinning
Would I start moving h[C]ome[G]
And if the w[F]orld stopped dreaming
Would I stop bel[C]ieving in it a[G]ll
[Am] There's so much m[G]ore that [C]I could [F]be
[Am] So many plac[G]es that I'll n[C]ever s[F]ee
[Am] So many lives[G] that I'll n[C]ever m[F]eet
I'll just dr[Am]eam until we g[G]et there in the e[C]nd
I'll just dr[Am]eam until we g[G]et there in the e[C]nd
I'll just dr[Am]eam until we g[G]et there in the e[F]nd
