C majorC FF
Julie's got the word today
C majorC A minorAm G+G
She lost her job just one last pay
C majorC FF C majorC A minorAm
Life don't come easy anymore
G+G C majorC FF
Still strugglin'on by herself
C majorC
Got a picture of Jimmy
A minorAm G+G
There on the shelf
C majorC
And she looks at him and says
FF C majorC C majorC G/BG/B
Why did we let it go
A minorAm E minorEm
I know that sometimes, baby
FF C majorC C majorC G/BG/B
We didn't see things eye-to-eye
A minorAm E minorEm
I got just one question
FF G+G
Did we have to say goodbye?
C majorC FF
Just like prisoners in paradise
C majorC FF
Still far from heaven's door
C majorC G/BG/B A minorAm
We had it all but still we
G+G FF DmDm
Wanted more
G+G FF G+G
Now I realize that I can't turn back
A minorAm G+G FF
The future's here to stay
C majorC G+G
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow
FF G+G A minorAm FF G+G
Hangin' on to yesterday
C majorC FF
Jimmy still recalls the night
C majorC
When he took his guitar
A minorAm G+G
And headed on out
C majorC FF
To find the big time
C majorC A minorAm
That was his dream
G+G C majorC
He gave up his past
FF
And made it alright
C majorC
But there's something missin'
A minorAm G+G
In his heart tonight
C majorC FF
Sometimes what you want
C majorC C majorC G/BG/B
Ain't what you need, no no
A minorAm
He misses drivin' down
E minorEm
To the lake at night
FF
Holdin' his baby
C majorC C majorC G/BG/B
In his arms so tight
A minorAm E minorEm
Ain't it hard to find illusions
FF G+G
When you're livin' in a memory
C majorC FF
Just like prisoners in paradise
C majorC FF
So close but yet so far
C majorC
There will come a time
G/BG/B A minorAm G+G FF DmDm
No matter who you are
G+G FF
When you ask yourself
G+G
Was it right or wrong
A minorAm G+G FF
For me to turn away
C majorC G+G
But hey, we're just children of tomorrow
FF G+G C majorC
Hangin' on to yesterday

C majorC FF
Still far from heaven's door
