D
I had a dream that brought me

C
Back to simpler times and I was

G
At some little party

           D
There was dancing

D
I put my arm ‘round someone

C
Who’s no longer mine and we all

G
Talked ‘bout how the year has been

D
Advancing

        D
And you were there

C                  G
Smiling           along

D
I paid 5 bucks so we could

C
Do some karaoke and we sang

G
Hotel California

D
18 times

D
The joke got old and our

C
Voices got all croaky

G
And staying out past 10

             D
Was still a crime

     D
And you were there

C                  G
Driving        us home

C       D
Woah-oh-oh

G                                            C
There’s a different energy when you’re not there

C       D
Woah-oh-oh

G                                C             D
We don’t talk about it but it’s always in the air

D
When I woke up

                C
I looked for a picture of that night

   G
To prove it wasn’t just

       D
Imagination

D
I found a bunch of them

   C
Despite the lack of light

      G
And I put them up for memory

       D
Preservation

    D
Cuz you were there

C                    G
Smiling      in them all

C        D
Woah-oh-oh

G                                            C
There’s a different energy when you’re not there

C       D
Woah-oh-oh

G                                C             D
We don’t talk about it but it’s always in the air

C                D
Parties classes camping trips

G               C
Christmas gift exchange

C               D
Singing classic country songs

         G               C
That are way outside our range

    C               D
And somethimes they weren't all that fun

   G                  C
If you were there I'd race

   C               C                D
If I knew it meant I could see your face

D
I had a dream that brought me

C
Back to simpler times and I was

G
At some little party

     D
As a Freshman

D
I hated parties

       C
So I'd stand off at the side

       G
At the table where they had all the

   D
Refreshments

    D
And you were there

C          G
Being   my friend
