Verse 1
======

[The lick in the intro carries on under the vocal.]

|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
Its been a long time since we hung around together in the street

|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
and I miss those days when the world would wait for us


|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
with our crowd of friends we'd sit along the pavemnent near your house


|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
'til the sun came down and we brought the stars out....


|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
...(out).......

Verse 2
=======

[Cue drums.]

|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
When I heard it for the first time I could only stand and cry.


|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
you were just a boy, we were all so innocent


|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
we never thought this kind of thing would happen in our lives


|C - - - - - - G |G - - - - - - Dm|Dm- - - - - - G7|G7 - - - - - - C|
but it broke our hearts and we won't forget, no

Bridge
======

[Detached chords on acoustic guitar - lots of space. Electric guitar muted.]

|Em7 - - Am7 - - - - |F - - Dm7 - - - - |
All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone,

| G - - Dm7 - - - - |G - - Dm7 - - - - |
and I wonder where you are, because you never let me know, no no no

Chorus
======

[Mute electric guitar - double time, but quiet.]

|C - - - - - - - F - - - - - - - |C - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
Your always going too soon.

|C - - - - - - - F - - - - - - - |Em - - - - - - - - - - - - - -|
I'm always left on my own..

[Louder with full drum kit and backing vocals.]

|G - - - - Dm- - - - - - - - - - |Em- - - - F - - - - - - - - - |
Its ok, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down.
