A B E  
We were young 
A B E  
We were never growing old 
A B C#m 
And the glitter was still gold 
B 
They way it used to be 

A B E  
It was love 
A B E  
It was easy just to smile 
A B C#m 
It was easy for a while 
B 
The way it used to be 

A B E  
But even stars they fade 
A B E  
And colours turn to grey 
A B C#m 
I miss yesterday 
B 
And the way it used to be 

A B E  
and I can’t turn back time 
A B E  
Even if I try 
A B C#m 
I miss you tonight 
B 
And girl I miss the way it used to be

A B E  
Look at you 
A B E  
You’ve got the life, the pretty house 
A B C#m 
But you must still think about 
B 
The way it used to be 

A B E  
Is it real 
A B E  
He don’t love you like I do 
A B C#m 
Can we just go back to 
B 
The way it used to be 

A B E  
Cause even stars they fade 
A B E  
And colours turn to grey 
A B C#m 
I miss yesterday 
B 
And the way it used to be 

A B E

And girl I miss the way 

A B E  
Look at us 
A B E  
Just look what we’ve become 
A B C#m 
Just a shell of what was once 
B 
The way it used to be 

A B E  
Even stars they fade 
A B E  
And colours turn to grey 
A B C#m 
I miss yesterday 
B 
And the way it used to be 

A B E  
I can’t turn back time 
A B E  
Even if I try 
A B C#m 
I miss you tonight

And girl I miss the way it used to be
