Em Bm Am Em Cmaj7 G D x2
It seemed so easy at the start
When I left my heart
Sitting on the roof of the car
And drove off
And I rushed to leave the past behind
Forgot that heart was mine
I didn't even know at the time
I had one
Cmaj7 G Am Em Cmaj7 G D
I put the pedal to the floor
Heading for the western shore
Thinking only of high times
I had there
Em Bm Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em A D
Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
But I never flew
Never left the ground at all
Em Bm Am Em Cmaj7 G D
Greedy to get underway
I made that old mistake
Of sneering at familiar streets
And faces
Cmaj7 G Am Em Cmaj7 G D
Did you marry someone good
From our neighbourhood
Or are you on the other side of the world
Still searching
Em Bm Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em A D x2
Oh I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
But I never flew
Never left the ground at all, at all
So next time, time, time
I'll dream in days or on your mind
Look me up, 'cause I
Never left those days behind, behind
Solo: Em Bm Dm Am Dm G D
Cmaj7 G B Cmaj7 G B Cmaj7 G B Cmaj7 D
I've done some things I never should have done
Now I've come down, don't tell me that I'm out of time
Turn back your love upon a pie-eyed fool
Forget the things I did
Em Bm Cmaj7 G Bm Cmaj7 Em A D x2
When I was cruel, cruel, cruel
I thought I'd fly too high to fall
'Cause I never flew
Never left the ground at all, at all
So next time, time, time
I'll dream in days or on your mind
Look me up, 'cause I
Never left those days behind, behind
End
Em Bm Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 Em A D Em
