V1:
F#
Here I sit at 25
C#
Now watch my child-hood go by
B
Wish I could go back again
C#
Start the thing over and start again
F#
And I could never fault you
C#
For saying it couldn’t be true
B
What would you want me to believe in
B
Want me to believe in


Intro music, played once through

V2:
F#
Now I sit and wonder why
C#
The best part of my life went by
B
The things were so important then
C#
Disappear and return again
F#
But I could never fault you
C#
For saying it couldn’t be true
B
What would you want me to believe in
B
Want me to believe in

F#
Now that I am old enough
C#
To see the things I missed in life

I wish I could go back again,
