Intro: A5   C5 G5

A5  
After school
C5
Walking home
D5
Fresh dirt under my fingernails
A5              C5
And I can smell hot asphalt
D5
Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
A5           C5
And I cannot remember
D5
What life was like through photographs
A5        C5           D5  
Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past


A5     C5                     D5
       And sometimes it's a sad song

Refr?o:
F5             C5
But I cannot forget
           A5  
Refuse to regret
       G5
So glad I met you
F5             C5
Take my breath away
              A5
Make everyday
        G5
Worth all of the pain that I have

Gone through


F5             C5
And mama I've been cryin'
        A5                    G5
Cause things ain't how they used to be
F5
She said the battles almost won
          E5
And we're only several miles from the sun


Moving on down the street
I see people I won't ever meet
Think of her, take a breath
Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
And sometimes it's a sad song

But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I have
Gone through
And mama I've been cryin'
Cause things ain't how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we're only several miles from the sun
