I still hear the silence echo [F#m] across the hardwood [A] floor
Screaming as you cut across the room [E] to that front door
[A] Nothing lasts forever
[F#m] But I'd have sworn you'd [A] stay ain't it funny how the good things in life [E] seem to fade [D] away
[A] We were [E] carrying a [D] heavy load
[F#m] Till one of [E] us got [D] tired of lifting
[A] We were heading [E] down a [D] dead-end road
[F#m] In a car [E] too far [D] gone for fixing
[E]
[A] When I think about that summer
[E] I still hear the sound
[F#m] Teddy on the [D] radio.
I walk back down
[A] I called you a brother
[E] But you were closer than my kin [F#m] and it kills me knowing you may [D] never pass my way again
[A] But I hope
[E] That every now
[D] and then
[F#m] You look back fondly [D] on the days [Bm] when we were [A] younger men
[F#m]
[D] [A] [E]
[A] We've packed up that 350
[F#m] Ford a con-line
[D] With hopes and dreams and other childish [A] things men learn to [B] leave behind
[A] It's been a decade doing circles [F#m] not knowing what's in store
[D] Each new town more magical [A] than [E] the town
[D] before
[A] We [E] lost track of [D] time
[F#m] And the dark hair [E] of our youth [D] started to white
I [A] watched my [E] father's face [D] become mine
[F#m] And the cruel [E] hands of truth [D] started to tighten
[E]
[A] I still think about that summer [E] so long ago.
