F# , D , A , E , F# , D , E , A

A                                   E
well i made my way back down to the valley
E(still)             A
right on past eighty-third street
A (still)             E                      (let ring)
thats where we once belonged, but i'm gone i swear i'm long gone

chorus (same as intro kinda)
F#         D              A          E
so give it up, throw your hats in the air
    F#                  D                A          E
and change just as they land your saying "we'll get out of here"
F#              D             A        E          F# , D , E , A
  but something tells me that your to scared to go

A (still)
and the stairs that you could climb
E
were the ones you've left behind and your
A                                    E
eyes light up when we talk about the past
E     A
god i miss the songs we used to sing 
A       E                                                  
talking like getting away would be the greatest thing 
     A                                            
well me, i got out and you just kept singing to me 
E
 like its really gonna set this free

(chorus)

(solo for 4 phrases)

A                            E      
 like a ghost, you've been haunting all these dusty old roads
    A                                 E
and old homes, the ones we swore we'd never go. we'll never go
   A                                        E
so Joe, oh i've seen him around and there's Adam he's afraid to go out
       A                                     E
i dont blame him. i just wanted to go out to eat
             A
then there's mark, goddamn, i wish him the best
        E                                         
we were kids back then as if we could progress and 
A                                        E
 sometimes i, i just cant sleep thinking of everything we could have been so

(chorus x2)
