Change your ways, while you're young

Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside

Lost all track of the time

Time, slides by so carelessly

    Am 
And someone is calling my name 
         Em 
From the back of the restaurant 
    Am 
And someone is playing a game 
       Em 
In the house that I grew up in 
    Am 
And someone will drive her around 
         Em 
Down the same streets that I did 
        D/F# 
On the same streets that I did 
            Am 
Through the same streets that I did 

Bm             C        G                  D/F# 
Smile like you mean it, Whoah-oh-oh, Whoah-oh-oh

Smile like you mean it...
