Living like pirates out among the stars.

Pieces of our past slowly slip away,

Em                     D                         Cadd9
  But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

And I see a kid coming into his own

  And a man learning to move on.

C         G         D        G 
  Somehow trying to find his way,

C                     D
  A dreamer betting on blind faith

G                    C             G
Chasing that sun and following his heart.

C                     G   C                G
  Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.

  A few have moved on back to Maine,

G             C           G
  Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.

C          G     D          G
  Some are still living the dream,

C                D
  Stuck in still life it seems.

   G                         C              G
No matter where they've been, or where they are,

  Yeah, I see 'em here, when I see this bar.

[Outro]
G                   C
  I wonder where we go from here

  (That's what I see when I see this bar)

                      C                  G
I think about all the good times that we had

(That's what I see when I see this bar)

                         C
It makes me happy and it makes me sad

G                C                   G
  (That's what I see when I see this bar)

                   C                  G 
How could we be so close, now so far apart

               C                   G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)

              C    G              C                    G

Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars

              C                   G   C  G  C  G  C  G  C
That's what I see when I see this bar

G               C                   G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  (fade)
  That's what I see when I see this bar
