Verse 1
======
[The lick in the intro carries on under the vocal.]
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
Its been a long time since we hung around together in the street
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
and I miss those days when the world would wait for us
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
with our crowd of friends we d sit along the pavemnent near your house
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
til the sun came down and we brought the stars out....
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
...(out).......
Verse 2
=======
[Cue drums.]
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
When I heard it for the first time I could only stand and cry.
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
you were just a boy, we were all so innocent
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
we never thought this kind of thing would happen in our lives
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |- - - - - - | - - - - - - |
but it broke our hearts and we won t forget, no
Bridge
======
[Detached chords on acoustic guitar - lots of space. Electric guitar muted.]
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |
All this time has fallen through me since you ve been gone,
| - - - - - - | - - - - - - |
and I wonder where you are, because you never let me know, no no no
Chorus
======
[Mute electric guitar - double time, but quiet.]
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
Your always going too soon.
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | - - - - - - - - - - - - - -|
I m always left on my own..
[Louder with full drum kit and backing vocals.]
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |- - - - - - - - - - - - - |
Its ok, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down.
