[Intro]
G Am Em D G D Dsus4 G Am Em D [Verse]
G I was a dreamer when
C G
I was young
D Lyin' on the grass,
Em C
Starin' at the sky
G C G I never felt the time was moving on
D Em I thought it would stay the same C For all my life D Em Playin' games under
C
Christmas lights
D Em C When the world was warm and bright D Em C But that time just seemed to fly D In the blinking of an eye [Interlude]
G Am Em D G D Dsus4 [Verse]
G I was a joker when
C G
I was at school
D Smokin' grass,
Em C
Laughing and gettin' high
G C G I never cared about nothin' at all
D Em I thought it would stay the same
C For all my life D Em C Kissing girls under summer nights
D Em C When the world was big and bright
D Em C But that time just passed me by
D G Gsus4 G In the blinking of an eye [Bridge] Am Em I left home at seventeen G D Tried to get into the music scene Am Em It wore me down like an old machine G I learned how to work and
D
Forgot how to dream, oh [Interlude]
G Am Em D G D Yea-ea-eah G Am Em D [Verse]
G C G I fell in love at twenty-one
D Down in the grass, getting
Em C
Lost in her wide eyes
G C G Wouldn't have traded it for anyone D Em I thought it would stay the same D For all my life Em C But I was just too young to know
D Em C I let her down and let her go
D Em C That time taught me how to cry
D In the blinking of an eye [Interlude]
G Am Em D G In the blinking
D
Of an eye
G Am Em D [Verse]
G C G I hit the road at twenty-three
D Stood in the grass,
Em C
Singing songs for passers-by
G C G Foot-loose and fancy-free D Em I thought it would stay the same D For all my life Em C Oh and practice taught me
How to preach
D Em I touched the world,
C
So out of reach
D Em And that time,
C
It lived and died
D G Gsus4 G In the blinking of an eye [Bridge]
Am Em It all changed at twenty-nine G My boat came in and the
D
Stars aligned
Am Em I watched a simple song of mine G Travel the world in the
D
Blink of an eye, yeah [Interlude]
G Am Em D Yea-ea-eah G Am Em D x3 [Outro]
G C G Now I'm here at thirty-six D Down in the grass,
Em C
Tryna make sense of it all
G C G Maybe there's no easy fix D Em The highest highs come with
C
The hardest falls
D Em C See the good times come and go D Em C Like the people that you know D Em C And all you can do is try D For it's gone in the
G
Blink of an eye
