[Gm] [Em] [Bm] [Em]
[Bm] [Em] [E] [G]
[C] As [D] that fact [Em] widely known, the most impassioned [Em] songs were lonely [C] songs so easily [G] outgrown.
But don't forget the songs that made you smile, [C] and the songs that [G] made you cry, when you lay
in [Em] hard on the bedroom [C] floor as a down low some [Em] other made my world.
[C] [B] [C] Now, [E]
[C] now, [Bm] now, now, now, [C] [B] [Em] now, now, now, [C] now, now, no
Now, [B] [C] [Bm] now, [F#] now, now, now, now, now, now, [Em] no
The [G] passing of [Em] time and all of it's [C] cried is making you sad [Em] again
The passing of time, the love it's taking it's prize, [C] making you sad [Em] again.
But don't forget the songs that made you cry, [C] and the [D] songs that [Em] saved your life.
You sure are older now and you're a clever swine, [C] but they were the only ones who [Em] ever stood by you.
[C] [Bm] [C] [Bm] [Em]
[C] [Bm] [C] [Bm] [Em]
[C] [Bm] [C] [Bm] [Em]
The passing of time, live empty [C] lives, waiting to [Em] fade.
The passing of time, [G] live empty lives, [C] waiting to [Em] fade.
And you were the cause, and holding the torch, [C] in the [D] corner, [Em] till you did it.
And when you're dancing and laughing and finally living,
[C] hear my voice [D] in your head and think [Em] of me.

It's a long road.
