Key: G Intro: G Am D G x4 Verse 1: G I know just where to begin Am Singing my songs into the wind D Letting them just blow away G And never hearing them again G Friends of mine were in a band Am Halifax was on the stands D And I thought I had a chance G To be like them
Chorus: Em D G So I recorded and I sang Am Em D About the things that I knew of back then C D G Some kids who heard and saw me in them Am Em At a time in their lives Am Em D When music was everything G Am D G It was everything Verse 2: G Loading up my red Tercell Am With my guitar and things to sell D Getting to the Embassy hotel G Just in time to play G The year was 1994 Am They were cross-legged on the floor D Listening to my bedroom wall G Oh, those were the days Chorus: Em D G When I recorded and I sang Am Em D About the things that I knew of back then C D G Some kids who heard and saw me in them Am Em At a time in our lives Am Em D When music was everything G Am D G It was everything Verse 3: Play first four lines quietly: G Then everything changed over the phone Am California to my home D My hero's voice after the tone G Yeah, my mind was blown G Soon every note became a song Am And I was rarely alone D Most of what I longed for was gone G So I shut things down Chorus: Em D G Oh, but I'm recording once again Am Em D While my kid is upstairs in bed C D G And I'll admit now and then Am Em That some nights when I'm strumming Am Em Or maybe just drumming Am Em D The music is still everything Pause for effect: G Am D G Well, almost everything Outro: G Am D G x8
