[E] [A]
[E] There's a big white house on a loofy street [A] On [E]
a summer's day in 1963
[A] [B] Station [E] wagons parked in the dry [C#m] [B] Dents [E] in the fender and wood on the [A] side
[A] There's kids and [E] dogs in enstimatic [B] hues Squinting [A] hard in the sun
Not just [E] yet, but one day [F#m] too They'll be chasing [B] what's [E] already gone
You [A] [E]
[A]
[E] grow up tall and you grow [A] up tough Try [E] to never admit not feeling good [A] enough
[E]
They tell you find your passion and you'll find your [A] way
Just [B]
[E] trying to make it on skate through every [A] day
And it seems to [E] happen nearly overnight [B] Life shows you who [A] you've become
When there's no more [E] mystery in the fading [F#m] light
You're just chasing [B] what's already [E] gone
[A] Hey, [E]
hey, hey
[A] Like [E]
[A] a mind that smells the [C#m] far horizon
[F#m] And beneath you as fast as you [B] can [E] run
Half [A] your life you've paid no [C#m] attention
The rest you can't [F#m] stop but wondering
What [B] you should have done
Instead of chasing what's [E] already gone
[A] [E]
Ooh, ooh, [A]

[E] [A]
[E] my father in a dream last [Am] night
He [E] was smiling and saying, you're gonna be alright
[A] And [E] this morning I stared back at [A] myself
Feeling [E] as empty as I've ever [A] felt
[E]
[A] But I keep on [E] going and I hope I've [B] learned
More of what's [A] right than what's wrong
It's ashes and [C#m] roses and time that [F#m] burns
When you're chasing [B] what's [E] already [A] gone
Ashes and [E] roses and hearts that [B] break
I tried so hard [A] to be strong
It may be my [E] worst but not my first [F#m] mistake
[B] Of chasing what's [E] already gone
[A]
Ooh, [E] ooh, ooh
