Tom: C
C Em D
Heydays are passing
C
Your house has been rented
G6 C
Several times over
Dm D
By prettier girls
C
[Verse 2]
Em D
Weekends and summers
C
Bands that you loved
G6 C
Were just haircuts and jackets
Dm D
Back then that was enough
G7
[Verse 3]
C Em D
Your days are invested
C
The band has been signed
G6 C
You've been there before
Dm D
Perhaps this is the time
C
[Verse 4]
C Em D
Girlfriends are leaving
C
New girls arrive
G6 C
You open the circle
Dm D
To be blinded by light
G7
[Verse 5]
C Em D
Uncertain the future
C
Nostalgic the past
G6 C
Unable to recognize
Dm D
Moments that pass
C
[Verse 6]
C Em D
Heydays are passing
C
Friendless and thin
G6 C
From back doors of cafes
Dm D
Hid by the din
G7
[Verse 7]
C Em D
But don't hold a candle
C
Don't carry a torch
G6 C
Those are for castles
Dm D
And you are long from their court
C
[Verse 8]
C Em D
But lift up a bottle
C
And put back a glass
G6 C
Some years from tomorrow
Dm D
With your gut you'll look back
