DD Piano Chord 
                     BmBm Piano Chord 

When you find you can somehow
GG Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 

Make it like all the rest
BmBm Piano Chord 
                                            AA Piano Chord 

You won't need to scrounge around for someone else
GG Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 

Torn between the unknown
GG Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 

And the place you call home
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
                          AA Piano Chord 

And the life you want but have never known

DD Piano Chord 

There was a time
G/DG/D Piano Chord 
                BmBm Piano Chord 

You could put it out of your mind
GG Piano Chord 
            BmBm Piano Chord 

And leave it all behind
AA Piano Chord 

There was a time
GG Piano Chord 
      DD Piano Chord 
 G/DG/D Piano Chord 

And that time is gone

What has life for 50 years
In this town done for you
Except to earn your name and place on a barstool
You spend your whole life in this county
You've never been out of state
You say you're going to make it out before it's too late

There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone

DD Piano Chord 
                 D/GD/G Piano Chord 
                 BmBm Piano Chord 

There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense
GG Piano Chord 
           BmBm Piano Chord 

Now that's turned more intense
AA Piano Chord 

And all the grudges you've kept around
GG Piano Chord 
       DD Piano Chord 
     G/DG/D Piano Chord 

Now are nowhere to be found

(Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret,
then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord)

Remember when you didn't have
To look ahead or behind you
There was always something right there to do
But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap
Looking for a way out
We keep moving on that's what it's all about

There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
