Intro:

G  Gmaj7   G7

G  Gmaj7   G7

Verse 1:

G                           Em7
Some of my old friends have fallen behind
Am7                         Bm/D           D
Seem like their dreams just exceeded their grasp
         G                    Em7
With too much to do and just too little time
    Am          C        G5/D    D
How quickly the years go past      

          C
Some move up
    D         G
And some move out
         C                    Em
And some stay right where they are
     Em7/A  C
Some give   in
D         Em7
Some give out  
Em7/A      C      D                   G
                   *
       And some   never even get that far

Verse 2:

G                      Em7
Climbin' the ladder of social acceptance
Am7                    Bm/D      D
Chasin' a piece of the corporate pie
G                     Em7
Keepin' an eye on the minutes and seconds
    Am          C         G5/D    D
How quickly the time goes by        

          C
Some move up
    D         G
And some move out
         C                    Em
And some stay right where they are
     Em7/A  C
Some give   in
D         Em7
Some give out  
Em7/A      C      D                   G
                   *
       And some   never even get that far

G  G/A  Em7               C
            We were gonna make our mark
D                      G6/9   G
 We were only shootin' in the dark
Em7/A Em                     C
         And some of us were on our way
Am7               Dsus4    D
 Where are they today        ?
