[F#m] Seems like yesterday [A] _ [F#m] I was here
[A] _
[F#m] Dreaming my life [A] away [F#m] and drinking beer
[D] _
Staying up till dawn
_ Strumming [A] on guitars
[F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _
Sleeping all day long
Just like the [A] big rock [F#m] stars
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _
Barely living on [D] _ _ money [A] from tip _
[F#m] jars
_ _ _ _ [A] I had a little place _ [F#m] just up the block
[A] _
[F#m] Had me a French [A] girlfriend, I loved the [F#m] way she talked
[D] We spent our _ afternoons watching [A] the TV
[F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _
Finding things to do that we could [A] do for free
[F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] When we split up she [D] said, you don't [A] do enough for me
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
I am guilty [E] of a dreadful [A] selfish crime
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
I have robbed [E] myself of all my [A] precious [F#m] time
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] I had [F#m] my first gig [A] here in this [F#m] neighborhood
[A] We [F#m] had a little [A] band I [F#m] thought was good
[D] A hot mold shot girl
And I bought a [A] used P.A.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] We got a quarter on
_ And we drank it [A] all that day
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
When the band came to [D] come
We were just too [A] drunk to play
_ It happens that way
[D] I am guilty [E] of a dreadful [A] selfish [D] crime

[F#m] Sometimes I can't [A] believe those [F#m] days are gone
[A] _
[F#m] Most of my friends back [A] then, they've [F#m] done moved [D] on
One's in Hollywood _ and one's a [A] millionaire _
[F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _
Some are gone for good
Yes, I'm [A] still living [F#m] here
_ But you know _ [A] _
me, I'm just the same
I'm lost in a crowd
Looking for the light in a thundered [D] crowd _
I'm on the drive
But it [A] don't matter [F#m] though
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _
One thing I found
There are just two [A] ways to [F#m] go
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _
It all comes [D] down to living fast or [A] dying slow
_ I _ _ [D] _
am guilty [E] of a dreadful [A] selfish crime
[D] I have [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
robbed [E] myself of [A] all my precious time
I am, _ [F#m] I am, I am, [D] I am, I am
