Intro: C Am E Verse 1: C Am I've been missing the way the world used to look E Been missing the calm before everything shook C Am There was a time in my life it was almost a dream E C Am E The blues were so blue the greens were so, so green Verse 2: C And memories wait Am They're a double-edged sword E There's still ones that you need
And the ones you can't afford
C
Then you can't go back
Am
Even if you try
E
Then no one asked me for this advice
[Pre-chorus]
