[Verse 1]
D G Caught in the middle, Carol, we're middle class Am7 We're middle-aged, we were wild in the old days G Em Birth of rock n' roll days, now your kids are coming up straight C Am7 G My child's a stranger, I bore her but I could not raise her
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Nothing lasts for long D Nothing lasts for long C6 Nothing lasts for long
[Chorus]
Am7 Down at the Chinese Café Em We'd be dreaming on our dimes Em We'd be playing, C Am7 F "Oh my love, my darling" F One more time
[Verse 2]
D G Uranium money is booming in the old hometown now Am7 G It's putting up sleek concrete, tearing the old landmarks down now Em C6 Paving over brave little parks, ripping off Indian land again Am7 G How long, how long, short-sighted business man?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Ah, nothing lasts for long D Nothing lasts for long C6 Nothing lasts for long
[Chorus]
Am7 Down at the Chinese Café Em We'd be dreaming on our dimes C Am7 F We'd be playing, "You give your love so sweetly" D One more time
[Verse 3]
D G Christmas is sparkling out on Carol's lawn Am7 G This girl of my childhood games with kids nearly grown and gone Em C6 Grown so fast like the turn of a page Am7 G We look like our mothers did now when we were those kids' age
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Nothing lasts for long D Nothing lasts for long C6 Nothing lasts for long
[Chorus]
Am7 Down at the Chinese Café Em We'd be dreaming on our dimes Em We'd be playing, C Am7 F "Oh my love, my darling G C I've hungered for your touch Am7 G A long lonely time C Am7 F And time goes by so slowly G C And time can do so much Am7 Em Are you still mine? C G I need your love Am7 I need your love F G D God speed your love to me"

I wonder where the time goes)
