You walk me through the park where all the dark spots are lit by snow
    F                      C             G                Dm
You talk me through my part as if you're starring the show

You remind me I'm no longer young

It's the 20th of Decem - ber, Santa's looking kind of worn
    F                     C          G                  Dm
The windows shine like em - bers and every year there's more
        F                    C              G                 Dm
I don't think I look much ol - der, but I'm not the one to ask
  F                      C         G             Dm
Nostalgia's getting bold - er with every day that  passes
          F       Am       G     G
It reminds me I'm no longer young


[CHORUS]
     G        C            G                Dm
Back then the streets were paved with light,
           F        G             Am G
As if this town was built by night
        C          G         Dm
And our steps like hyperspace  flight,
     F       G         F            C
In a universe that was ours by right

You look at me through len - ses of ideas that were never mine
       F                        C              G                     Dm
You're shooting 'cross the tren - ches, in the world war of your mind
       F                    C                 G                Dm
You've gone and hit old San - cho between the halo and the eyes
       F               C             G                   Dm
Bet he didn't see it coming just the tunnel and the light


[VERSE 4]
   F               C           G                    Dm
So go away and pray baby, come back when you can cry
     F                    C          G                         Dm
It's Christmas time remem - ber, the least you should do is try
    F                 C            G                    Dm
The 90's like the weak link in the chain around my heart
    F                      C                 G                    Dm
The peace I've built within it, it's like an island off the charts


[VERSE 5]
    F                 C           G                    Dm
You step in like a tow truck, and tear my world apart,
F                   C            G                     Dm
Yawning like a house cat playing cruelly with the mouse
       F                       C         G                     Dm
You're shouting cross the tren - ches to steal my peace of mind
       F                     C                        G           Dm
It was you who killed the an - gels, you the greatest lover of all  time

You're just a petty thief now, in the universe of small  crime
          F       Am       G     G
You remind me I'm no longer young


[CHORUS]
     G        C            G                Dm
Back then the streets were paved with light,
           F        G             Am G
As if this town was built by night
        C          G         Dm
And our steps like hyperspace  flight,
     F       G         F            C
In a universe that was ours by right
