Time you make me travel always
                      F#m
And wont give me back those days
                    E
That I had loved before
                     B
I'm knockin' on your door
                    A
I'm pleading on the shore

Chorus:
A
Days I'm weary
            E                B
And there's some days I feel strong
A
There's days I'm feeling maybe
E            B7
Do I still belong

Don't carry me out weeping

'cause I'm afraid to go
                     B
I'm knocking on your door
                   A
To leave me on the shore

Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past
