VERSE:

Now, right now
 G+G          D MajorD
Look at the place I'm in

When I think about

Things that I could have done

It's impossible for me to pretend

But I see it now as the lights grow dim
     B minorBm            G+G

I just wanted to say goodnight

Around the corner, down the street
   G+G              A augmentedA
It's got to be better than where I am

 D MajorD    F# minorF#m G+G      D MajorD
Time goes by, oh, so quietly
 D MajorD      F# minorF#m
Hazy days and memories
      G+G         A augmentedA
And in the end there was only me
G+G           A augmentedA
Wouldn't have been, I ask sometimes
B minorBm         G+G
But I see myself inside this rhyme
 G+G           A augmentedA
Enjoyed what I had back then
G+G         A augmentedA
 Would I do it again?
