🎸 Verse 1:
 G       D
Adrift and in a dream
      Am7     C
Like fallen leaves in a flowing river
 G      D       Am7 C
A life of harmony for you and me
   G     D
When unexpectedly
    Am7        C
Someone said that nothing lasts forever
  G       D       Am7 C
It all became so very clear to me

🎸 Chorus:
   C        Am7
With each new passing day
      D         G D/F#
I see that old world fading away
 C         Am7        D
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
            G
That I knew back in the day


🎸 Verse 2:
  G        D
The light has gone away
      Am7      C
And I can't see it coming back tomorrow
  G       D       Am7 C
I stumble in the dark to find a way
 G       D
I tried to reconcile
      Am7     C
The living now with the dying hour
 G        D       Am7 C
I know I can't get back to yesterday


🎸 Chorus:
   C        Am7
With each new passing day
      D         G D/F#
I see that old world fading away
 C         Am7        D
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
            G D/F#
That I knew back in the day
  C       Am7
I'm downbeat in a daze
    D             G  D/F#
A sad malaise has taken hold in my heart
  C        Am7        D
And I can't seem to find the peace of mind
            G
That I knew back in the day
