Back Of My Mind Chords

   
Intro: (G#m7  G#7/4   F#/G#  E) 3 times (*)

(G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E)*
I woke up to my world this morning
Took a long look in the looking glass
Last night I guess I had one or too many
 
C#m7                      E   
Somebody tried to tell me I had no class

(G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#    E)*
What ever happened to me
Maybe I've been living on lies
Never really had a dream come true

A9                   B
Then again I guess I never really tried

E       B/D#      A/C#
Now the years all slip away
    E          B/D#         A/C#
And things are like they're gonna stay
E       B/D#    A/C#
All the roads I didn't take are just
 
G#m7                  F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
G#m7             F#m7
Taking space and time

 (G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E)*
Wish I'd finished that book I never started
Maybe that's the story of my life
Should've learned to play that saxophone
           C#m7                  E
So I could tell my song to the streetlight

 (G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E)*
Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own
Could've had a wife and a child
Should've made that house a home
   A9                           B
I don't know why my life is so wild

E       B/D#      A/C#
Now the years all slip away
    E          B/D#         A/C#
And things are like they're gonna stay
E           B/D#  A/C#
All the chances I didn't take are just

G#m7                  F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
G#m7             F#m7
Taking space and time
G#m7                  F#m7          
One more thing in the back of my mind

Solo:  (C#7/4  A7+) 3 times   F#m7  A 
       (C#7/4  A7+) 3 times

(G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E)*
So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight
I've got to get my shadow behind me
Try and make some sense of it all
        F#m           G#m         A            B
With my feet on the ground and my heart still free

E        B/D#      A/C#
As the years will slip away
      E       B/D#       A/C#
I'll let the cards fall where they may
E           B/D#    A/C#
And all the roads I didn't take will be just
G#m7                           F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind

B         F#/A#     E
As the years will slip away
B         F#/A#    E
And the cards fall as they may
B         F#/A#   E
All the chances I didn't take will be just

D#m7                  C#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
D#m7             C#m7
Taking space and time
D#m7                  C#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
G#m7                  F#m7                
One more thing in the back of my mind...
