_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] I just cut the string on a dusty old shoebox [Dm] and opened a door to the past. _ _
_ [G] Now I'm sitting [D] here _ _ [G] with my souvenirs _ and these faded old _ [C] photographs. _ _
_ _ Writing back tears, looking back through the years, _ [Dm] wondering why dreams fade so fast. _ _
_ _ [G] Now the young boy I see _ don't look like me, _ looking back from this old looking [C] glass.
The [Dm] _ _ [F] man in the mirror sees things so much clearer than [C] the boy in the pictures with his eyes full of dreams.
[F] All the men that I've tried to beat [C] from fifteen to forty-three [G] never believed that they'd end up [C] like me.

_ _ _ _ _
that touchdown I caught _ _ back when I thought _ [D#m] I'd play for the Cowboys someday.
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _
And there's you holding me in my faded fatigue coming home to the U.S. of [C#] A.
_ _ _ _ One after _ another, all my sweet _ dreams and lovers _ [D#m]
passed before my tear-filled eyes.

Pictures of [D#] a fool _ who was [G#] selfish and [D#] cruel, till [G#] the day he made you say [C#] goodbye.

never believed that they'd end up [C#] like me. _
_ [G#] Oh, they never believed I'd be lonely [C#] like me. _ _ _ _ _
