[Verse 1]
       D               Asus2      C           G                 D
When I got to New York City I was looking for another side of life

       D                    Asus2            C                 G          D
And my feet were so damned calloused I could probably walk the edges of a knife

       Bm             Asus2     C                 G            D         A
My mistakes had often led me to believe I'd never find an open door

        D              Asus2         C                   G                 D
now I'm busted flat and broken and I don't know what the hell I'm waiting for
[Verse 2]
           D              Asus2           C           G                 D
Some could see that I was stumbling and a couple even stopped to lend a hand

           D              Asus2        C                G           D
Most would pass me by and ridicule and failed to recognize a fellow man

         Bm               Asus2        C               G                D      A
Now the wind is growing bitter and the leaves begin to die and start to fall

        D            Asus2         C       G                     D
And I wonder if next summer I will even be around this place at all
[Chorus]
   A               G                D
If I could go back to the days when I was young

    A                     G                 D
I'd travel the whole world over and then some

       Bm            Asus2       C           G          D       A
And I'd come back to you with an everlasting Lily in my hand

        D                   A                C                   G       D
And I'd show the world just what it means to me for me to get to be your man
[Verse 3]
          D       Asus2       C              G               D
On the edges of a fading afternoon I heard a voice within my head

        D         Asus2                C             G                D
And the echoes of forgotten words from all the dusty books I have not read

      Bm             Asus2                C                 G                D        A
And I wondered if by chance I should have listened back to what they said in school

      D             Asus2               C                    G                  D
It occurred to me I might have been the class clown then but now I'm just a fool
[Chorus]
   A               G                D
If I could go back to the days when I was young

    A                     G                 D
I'd travel the whole world over and then some

       Bm            Asus2       C           G          D       A
And I'd come back to you with an everlasting Lily in my hand

        D                   A                C                   G       D
And I'd show the world just what it means to me for me to get to be your man

        D                   A                C                   G       D
And I'd show the world just what it means to me for me to get to be your man
