Can you tell me how old Dan might have done it

F7/A          C minorCm Cm C minorCm
If he'd been here now, holy cow

                   C majorC
My stars might have been read on the planet Mars

Because I don't have foresight to see

If we still be together in the twenty first

In the twenty first century

To be cat and mouse for the champions

For the champions of destiny
