G                     C          G
 I was a dreamer when I was young

D                       Em      C
Lyin' on the grass, and starin' at the sky

G                          C       G
 I never felt that time was moving on

  D                         Em
I thought it would stay the same

    C
For all my life

D         Em          C
  Playin' games under Christmas lights

D          Em        C
  When the world was warm and bright

D          Em        C
  But that time just seemed to fly

D
  In the blinking of an eye
[Interlude] G Am Em D G D Dsus4 [Verse 2]
G                     C         G
 I was a joker when I was at school

D              Em            C
Smokin' grass, laughing and gettin' high

G                    C          G
 I never cared about nothin' at all

  D                         Em
I thought it would stay the same

    C
For all my life

D         Em           C
  Kissing girls under summer nights

D          Em        C
  When the world was big and bright

D          Em        C
  But that time just passed me by

D                           G   Gsus4 G
  In the blinking of an eye
[Bridge]
Am               Em
  I left home at seventeen

G                       D
  Tried to get into the music scene

Am                        Em
  It wore me down like an old machine

  G                         D
I learned how to work and forgot how to dream, oh
[Interlude]
G   Am Em        D    G  D
          Yea-ea-eah
G Am Em D [Verse 3]
G                  C         G
 I fell in love at twenty-one

D                          Em          C
Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes

G                         C     G
 Wouldn't have traded for anyone

  D                         Em
I thought it would stay the same

               D
For all my life

          Em       C
But I was just too young to know

D           Em       C
  I let her down and let her go

D          Em             C
  And that time taught me how to cry

D
  In the blinking of an eye
[Interlude]
G  Am  Em  D         G        D
              In the blinking of an eye
G Am Em D [Verse 4]
G                  C           G
 I hit the road at twenty-three

D                           Em        C
Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by

G              C         G
 Footloose and fancy-free

  D                         Em
I thought it would stay the same

               D
For all my life

       Em              C
Oh and practice taught me how to preach

D             Em        C
  I touched a world, so out of reach

D          Em        C
  And that time, it lived and died

D                           G  Gsus4 G
  In the blinking of an eye
[Bridge]
Am                  Em
  It all changed at twenty-nine

G                         D
  My boat came in and the stars aligned

Am                   Em
  I watched a simple song of mine

G                         D
Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah
[Interlude]
G   Am Em        D
          Yea-ea-eah
G Am Em D x3 [Outro]
G*               C*        G*
 Now I'm here at thirty-six

D*                           Em*              C*
Down in the grass, tryin' to make sense of it all

G*                C*      G*
 Maybe there's no easy fix

    D*                 Em*       C*
The highest highs come with the hardest falls

D*        Em*        C*
  See the good times come and go

D*         Em*    C*
  Like the people that you know

D*    Em*         C*
  And all you can do is try

D*                                    G*
  For it's gone in the blink of an eye
