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