Verse 2:

It's a funny sort of haze
All full of dreams of yesterdays
And the dreams are so real you could cry
And you know the grass is green
On the side you've never seen
And the thought is what helps you get by

Verse 3:

As I grow a little more
And wonder what this all is for
And the brass ring is slipping away
I will keep the glasses near
Maybe shed a quiet tear
Maybe smile inside as I say

[repeat chorus]

[repeat guitar solo; end cold on G]
