About [G] what we might have had and what [C] might have been
[G] We had something going [G] once
That was such a long, long [D] time ago
[G]
It was way back in 76
[C]
Our [G] friendship for pure innocence
We first met in Matthew [C] Street
Well, we had something that set [G] us free
[Em] A sign [G] stands over a door and says
For that to [D] shook the world
[Am] In the depths of [C] those heady nights
[Em] We would dream [C] of those bright lights

And my friend Johnny went [C] away
Made some mistakes, but time will turn to jade
[G] And now when I see him, he's [C] still tall
But there's [G] no light [D] shinin' in his eyes
As soon as he was [C] seventeen
And [G] more beauty in this world
I swear you'll never see
Our heart was gonna be king
And she was gonna be queen
But now [D] all she does is hide behind her tears
[E]
If there was [G] no sense in this world
[D] And work wasn't so hard to find
[A]
You would not [C] be going your [Em] way
I would not [C] be going mine
[D]
[C] [G]
[D] Somewhere [C] tonight [Em] out on the [G] street
[D] Somewhere [C] beneath [D] this city [B] street
The [G] eyes of strangers [D] would pass me [Em] by
[G] But life is cruel [D] and so [C] uptight
This little act of sadness
[G]
[D] [C] It's [G]
[D] [C] [D] [G]
[C] [Em]
[F#] [D]
[G] a scene of dreams come [A] true
That [G] don't make him no hero
He's [C] just one of the lucky few
[G] And a man can't change the world these [C] days
I still believe [G] a man can [D] change his own destiny
But the price is high, but [C] it's gotta be paid
[G] For everyone who survives and [C] the many who fail
[G] I see my friends caught out in that
[G] We had something going [G] once
That was such a long, long [D] time ago
