Bm7 A7
Can’t think of all the things anymore
Bm7 A7 Bm7
If nothing matters lets call things ‘before’
A7
Addicted to the feelings
Dmaj7 C9
Someone might have had
Dmaj7 C9
A long long time ago
Bm7 A7 Bm7
We look at something’s too closely sometimes
A7 Bm7
Did it unravel or did things unwind?
A7 Dmaj7
The sky seems kind of cold tonight
C9 Dmaj7 Cmaj7
The stars seem brighter
CHORUS:
Bm7 D7 G7
Big star played against the odds
A7
Something keeps our hopes alive
Bm7 E7 G7
The past depends on what who knows
A7
Though credits due for those who try
Bm7 A7 Bm7
Will I remember the laughs or the cries?
A7 Bm7
The way that we started the things kept inside?
A7 Dmaj7 Cmaj7
Didn’t ever think that someday might depend
Dmaj7 Cmaj7
On how the story ends
CHORUS X2:
Bm7 D7 G
Once I used to wonder why
A7
Growing up, I was afraid to sleep
Bm7 E
There’s something I might miss and
G7
anyway,
A7
The dreams will keep
Bm7 D7 G7
Big star played against the odds
A7
Something keeps our hopes alive
Bm7 E7 G7
The past depends on what who knows
A7
Though credits due for those who try
