[Verse 1]
Bm A What's that you say? G I knew you when? A Bm You don't look too much like my friend A Those history books G Filled up with crooks A G Stories that I don't want to read again
[Pre-Chorus]
A Bm I've tried to live A G A One thousand years from here
[Chorus]
D A Bm When I think of it now G D It just brings me down A G When I think of you now D A Bm And when I think of it now G D It just brings me down A G D G D Bm When I think of you now
[Verse 2]
A I'm keeping time G One day goes by A Bm I try to live till the next one A But these history books G Full of haunted looks A G From people I don't want to see again
[Pre-Chorus]
A Bm 'Cause I've learned to live A G A But they try to hold me here
[Chorus]
D A Bm When I think of it now G D It just brings me down A G G D G D When I think of you now D A Bm And when I think of it now G D It just brings me down A G D G D When I think of you now
[Bridge]
D You just remind me of the Bm G Nights of smoke and dirty jokes D A Darkened rooms with lonely ghosts Bm G And they were beautiful some time ago D A Bm But time keeps rollin' us on
