G    C          G                   G           Em
   Feeling old before my years too tired for my age
 C               D                 G            Em
Sittin down and downing beers and write another page
 C              D                   G            Em
Same old story brand new lines my repertoire hurts some time
/ Am      /              /    D            /              /
Useful thinking occupies the space I feel between my ties, oh
   C                D
Take me back to yesterdays
      G                          Em
When getting high meant seeing Willie Mays
 C                D
Take me to my childhood
       G                  Em
When Willie played that game so good
 C              D
Take me flying back in time
       G                    Em
When stealing base was the biggest crime
  Am    
Take me to when I'm thinking of
        C               D                   Em  D  C  D
When I held the world inside of a baseball glove
C                   D               G              Em
Youth it comes and goes so fast tho some never let go
     C              D                   G                Em
Who cares I'm liven in the past I'm the first to let you know
  C            D              G                Em
Smiling until make believe is so instilled it cannot leave
  Am                               D
Youthful dreams of my childhood I wonder was my life that good
 C               D
Take me back to yesterday
       G                        Em
When getting high meant seeing Willie Mays
 C             D
Take me to my childhood
      G                  Em
When we all played that game so good
 C              D
Take me flying back in time
       G                    Em
When cutting class was the biggest crime
 Am              
Take me to when I'm thinking of
       C             D               Em  D  C
When baseball was the only thing I loved
 Em           D           Em               D
Feel I been disconnected far and away too long
   F            Am              C                    D
How long can I go on living my whole life through a song
 Em            D         Em         D
Facing up to changes I found other ways
 F              Am        Em |||   D |||   E ||||
I become that kid again watching Willie Mays
(adlib) C  D  G  Em
