I'm pretty sure this is the real thing EXCEPT for the intro..i'm really not sure about
but it works well nonetheless..give it a try and make changes where you see fit. Cheers!


CAPO 4th fret

[INTRO]

C majorC        A minorAm       C majorC   A minorAm
The way things used to be, well not anymore
FF     C majorC    C/BC/B   A minorAm
Close your eyes, open up your door
C majorC      A minorAm   C majorC     A minorAm
Well I’m not tired, I’m coming alive
  C majorC  C/BC/B  A minorAm      G+G   FF
But you make up on, let’s go out tonight

C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm G+G FF
C majorC C/BC/B A minorAm C majorC
C

C majorC
These things don’t matter now
    A minorAm      FF
We can leave it all behind
C majorC
That’s all depending on
     A minorAm        FF
If you’re free to free your mind

   G+G         A minorAm     FF
The crucifix still hung up by the door
   G+G         A minorAm     FF
But Jesus doesn’t come here anymore
   G+G       A minorAm       FF
Those memories still hanging on the wall
   G+G         A minorAm       FF
But people there don’t look like us at all

   C majorC  C/BC/B A minorAm G+G FF
Don’t need reminding of
   C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm   C majorC
The way things used to be

 C majorC
I race you to the top
    A minorAm       FF
Then we walk back down again
 C majorC
Look to the future now
       A minorAm         FF
Where you’re going, where you’ve been

   G+G      A minorAm        FF
The universe is smaller than you think
   G+G        A minorAm        FF
So many years spent blind and then you blink
  G+G        A minorAm      FF
I promise you we're meant to suffering
   G+G       A minorAm          FF
If you could be my queen, I’ll be your king

   C majorC  C/BC/B A minorAm G+G FF
Don’t need reminding of
   C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm   C majorC
The way things used to be

G+G          A minorAm       FF
Take this chance to rest your tired eyes
G+G          A minorAm       FF
Come with me, we’ll move to better skies
G+G          A minorAm      FF
If where we go don’t make a difference
   G+G        A minorAm        FF
Just turn around and we’ll come back again

   C majorC  C/BC/B A minorAm G+G FF
Don’t need reminding of
   C majorC   C/BC/B A minorAm   C majorC
