Intro:       C     


  C
 Listen to my heart as it beats for you
           Am
 And it's telling you the things that I never could
           Em                             G
 And it's laying it down on the line for you

          C
 And the years are catching up, I can see it on your face
          Am
 And the days of being young and free
                                        Em          G
 Are left there with the memories that blow in the wind

     F                              Am
 And I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues
              Em                             G
 They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too
     F                              Am
 And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak
          Em               G
 And I can not speak the truth

 
                     C                       Am
 The days of being young, the days of being free
                         Em                           F    G
 They're etched upon my face in every light that you see
                      C                          Am
 The stories I could tell, the lies are told as well
                  Em      F       G     C
 What I wouldn't give to live it all again

 
       C
 The years are passing, every single day
  Am
 Where did they go? Did you take them all away?
      Em             G
 Now I'm older and brave

           C
 And the children, they all left
 
 They fled their family nest
      Am
 And now we're all alone
                                        Em        G
 And the house don't feel like home anymore, anymore

     F                              Am
 And I can feel it coming when the Monday morning blues
              Em                             G
 They last all through the week, I feel it on Sunday too
     F                              Am
 And I can feel it coming when my knees feel weak
          Em               G
 And I can not speak the truth

 
                     C                       Am
 The days of being young, the days of being free
                         Em                           F    G
 They're etched upon my face in every light that you see
                      C                          Am
 The stories I could tell, the lies are told as well
                  Em      F       G     C
 What I wouldn't give to live it all again

 
            F                     Am
 And in my baby's eyes I lived it all again
       C                F       G
 The fear, the surprise, everything
        F                     Am
 In my baby's eyes I lived it all again
                  C         F    G
 And I wouldn't change anything
        F                     Am
 In my baby's eyes I lived it all again
                  C         F    G
 And I wouldn't change anything

 End on C
