  I found the poncho and lefty tape,   I played it time and time again,

  has anything changed since the good old days, well,   I can name a few.
          G              G                 C                  G
There’s a lot more water under the bridge,   we don’t live as close to the edge,
C                              G              D                   G         G
  the time that’s left and the time we spent,   chasin' after our dreams.

So, I called you up for the hell of it,   I chill the wine for the love of it,

Chorus:
           D       D/C     G/B    G         C/E    D/F#       G
And it was good to see you smile again, you sure light up the room
           D       D/C     G/B     G       Am
and it was good to see you leave before we got too close,
    D*              G                G
oh, we both knew we would.

Verse 2:
G                             G            C                     G
  Now there’s a rumour that’s going round,   a generation of the lost and found,
C                             G             D                      D
  the dance is slower and the music’s down,   a different point of view.
          G                   G            C                     G
There’s a lot more dinners by candlelight,   some easy talks and early nights,
C                        G         D              G         G
  I can see through that moon that played with my heart.

Pre-Chorus:
      G                     G           C                          G
So, I called you up for the hell of it,   I chill the wine for the love of it,
C                         G              D           G          G

  We spent the day on the life we left,   we talked it over and we both agreed,
C                                   G               D*                D      N.C.
  there’s no more running if you’re really free and we’re not running now.
          G                         G
There’s a two lane highway, running through this town,
C                        G
  every weekend it’s the same old crowd,
C                           G               D*               G         G
  just as crazy and they’re just as loud as we were way back when.

           D       D/C     G/B     G       Am*
and it was good to see you leave before we got too close,
    D*              G         G*
oh, we both knew we would.
