Just to take away the  pain

There  was a  time

And we thought we knew what  we meant

When we stood and faced the   flag.

Bb majorBb   FF    C minorCm
Are   we   blind

Lost in     some nos-    talgia case
Bb majorBb       FF        C minorCm
Only white men miss the    good ol days

FF            Bb majorBb
That ain’t coming    back.

But we didn’t  see the same things
Eb MajorEb       DmDm   Bb majorBb
Maybe all was in a   mirror
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
Was never    close as it   appeared
Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb                   C minorCm
Like the way  the truth can seem so black and     white
C minorCm           Eb MajorEb
After all our looking  through
            Bb majorBb
This rose colored rear view
