Chords

[Intro] G Am D G x4 [Verse 1]
G
I know just where to begin

Am
Singing my songs into the wind

D
Letting them just blow away

G
And never hearing them again

G
Friends of mine were in a band

Am
Halifax was on the stands

D
And I thought I had a chance

G
To be like them
[Chorus]
   Em         D     G
So I recorded and I sang

          Am            Em           D
About the things that I knew of back then

C             D                   G
Some kids who heard and saw me in them

     Am            Em
At a time in their lives

     Am        Em   D
When music was everything

            G     Am  D  G
It was everything
[Verse 2]
G
Loading up my red Tercell

Am
With my guitar and things to sell

D
Getting to the Embassy hotel

G
Just in time to play

G
The year was 1994

Am
They were cross-legged on the floor

D
Listening to my bedroom wall

G
Oh, those were the days
[Chorus]
     Em         D     G
When I recorded and I sang

          Am            Em           D
About the things that I knew of back then

C             D                   G
Some kids who heard and saw me in them

     Am          Em
At a time in our lives

     Am        Em   D
When music was everything

            G     Am  D  G
It was everything
[Verse 3] [Play first four lines quietly]
G
Then everything changed over the phone

Am
California to my home

D
My hero's voice after the tone

G
Yeah, my mind was blown

G
Soon every note became a song

Am
And I was rarely alone

D
Most of what I longed for was gone

G
So I shut things down
[Chorus]
        Em            D    G
Oh, but I'm recording once again

         Am       Em        D
While my kid is upstairs in bed

C          D           G
And I'll admit now and then

          Am              Em
That some nights when I'm strumming

   Am         Em
Or maybe just drumming

    Am       Em         D
The music is still everything
[Pause for effect]
                   G     Am  D  G
Well, almost everything
[Outro] G Am D G x8
