I thought about it but I couldn't think of what to say

But I thought about it anyway, yeah

But it didn't come so easily, no

In all it's glory

If I could put a good shine on the past

Do you think that we could make it last, oh yeah

D        C#m      F#        Bm
Seems to mind the time goes fast

I wonder if the vote is cast

In all it's glory
