(intro)
4x
G C


(verse)
        G  C      G    C
Well I see the souls of so many friends,
G       C       G
 And I see us all back here again.
C      G     D    G
 With sandy floors and ceiling fans,
C        D         G
 A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
       C          G
That fill my memories like a tip jar.
C           G  C        G  C
 Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.

(verse)
G    C           G  C
 I see tourists at Christmas time,
G       C          G
 And I taste beers with a hint of lime.
C    G         D    G
 I feel lonely cause it's not the same,
C           D
 Different faces and different names,
G          C       G
Living like pirates out among the stars.
C           G  C        G
 Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.


(chorus)
D             G
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em           D             C
 But time just stands still when I walk in this place.


(verse)
      G C        G
And I see a kid coming into his own
C    G C         G
 And a man learning to move on.
C     G     D    G
 Somehow trying to find his way,
C           D
 A dreamer betting on blind faith
G          C       G
Chasing that sun and following his heart.
C           G  C        G
 Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.


(instrumental)
C G D G, C D G


(chorus)
D             G
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em           D             C
 But time just stands still when I walk in this place.


(verse)
G      C        G   C
 A few have moved on back to Maine,
G       C      G
 Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.
C     G   D     G
 Some are still living the dream,
C        D
 Stuck in still life it seems.
  G             C       G
No matter where they've been, or where they are,
C         G  C        G
 Yeah, I see 'em here, when I see this bar.
C         G  C, G C,
 when I see this bar.


(verse-out)
G          C
 I wonder where we go from here
G        C          G
 (That's what I see when I see this bar)
             C
Life ain't over but it's always near
G        C          G
 (That's what I see when I see this bar)
           C         G
I think about all the good times that we had
        C          G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
             C
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
G        C          G
 (That's what I see when I see this bar)
          C         G
How could we be so close, now so far apart
        C          G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
       C  G       C          G
That's what I feel, that's what I see (when I see this bar)
             C          G
Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
       C          G  C, G C, G C, G C,
That's what I see when I see this bar
G        C          G C, G C, G C, G C, G C (fade)
 That's what I see when I see this bar
