Whenever I get to feel [B] this way, [D] hard to find [A] new words to say.
[C] I think about [G] the bad old days, [F#]
we [B] used to [B] know.
[Em] Nights of [B] winter turned me cold, [D]
fears of dying, [A] getting [C] old.
We ran the [G] race, the race was won, [F#]
by [B] running slowly.
[Em]
Could be [B] soon we'll cease to sound, [D]
slowly [A] upstairs, faster down.
[C]
Then to revisit [G]
stony grounds, [F#]
[B] we used to know.
[Em]
Remembering [B] mornings still in [D] spent, made no sense [A] to leave the bed.
[C] The bad old [G] days, they came and [F#] went, [B] giving way to fruitful
[Em] years.
