[Intro] G C [Verse]
               G    C           G       C
Well I see the souls of so many friends,

G              C             G
  And I see us all back here again.

C            G          D       G
  With sandy floors and ceiling fans,

C               D                 G
  a Rastafarian one-man band with songs

             C                   G
That fill my memories like a tip jar.

C                     G   C                G   C
  Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
[Verse]
G       C                     G    C
  I see tourists at Christmas time,

G             C                    G
  And I taste beers with a hint of lime.

C        G                 D       G  
  I feel lonely cause it's not the same,

C                     D
  Different faces and different names,

G                   C             G
Living like pirates out among the stars.

C                     G   C                G
  Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
[Chorus]
D                         G 
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,

Em                     D                         C 
  But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
[Verse]
            G  C                G
And I see a kid coming into his own

C       G  C                 G
  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.
[Interlude] C G D G C D G [Chorus]
D                         G 
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,

Em                     D                         C 
  But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
[Verse]
G            C                G     C
  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,

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

C                 G   C   G  C  
  when I see this bar.
[Outro]
G                   C
  I wonder where we go from here

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

                         C
Life ain't over but it's always near

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

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

               C                   G
-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
That's what I feel, that's what I see -when I see this bar-

                         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
  That's what I see when I see this bar
