PLAY TWICE x2

A
Gone are the days of magic
D
those times were cool.
D
I tried to make love not hate.
         A
What was I to do?
A
Oh, the beats were playing,
D
we danced all night.
D
We were kissing
     A
till dark turned to light.

[Chorus:]
MAIN RIFF at the same time as the chorus
A
Ah-oooo
                           D
Rolling back the rivers in time.
                                    A
Can't wait. Got to see his face somewhere.
A
Ah-oooo
A                             D
Holding back the minutes gone by.
D                               A
Someday, got to see his face oh yeah.

A
There's a feeling in my soul
                    D
that sets my heart alive.
D
I tell you there's a feeling in my soul
                              A
that tells me that you're all mine.

A
There's an arrow in my heart
                 D
just hit at seventeen.
D
I tell you there's a shadow in my heart
                              A
that tells of what could have been.

[Chorus]

A
Doesn't really matter
                         D
I felt nothing better at all.
D
Ho-hoo
D
Sending him a letter
                         A
I know I won't regret it all.
A
Ho-hoo
A
Doesn't really matter
A                          D
a miracle could happen for sure.
D
Ho-hoo
D
I'd rather wait for ever
D                     A
baby never have it at all.

[Chorus (x2)]
