Back of My Mind
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: (G#m7 G#7/4 F#/G# E) 3 times (*)
(G#m7 G#7/4 F#/G# E)*
I woke up to my world this morning
Took a long look in the looking glass
Last night I guess I had one or too many
C#m7 E
Somebody tried to tell me I had no class
(G#m7 G#7/4 F#/G# E)*
What ever happened to me
Maybe I've been living on lies
Never really had a dream come true
A9 B
Then again I guess I never really tried
E B/D# A/C#
Now the years all slip away
E B/D# A/C#
And things are like they're gonna stay
E B/D# A/C#
All the roads I didn't take are just
G#m7 F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
G#m7 F#m7
Taking space and time
(G#m7 G#7/4 F#/G# E)*
Wish I'd finished that book I never started
Maybe that's the story of my life
Should've learned to play that saxophone
C#m7 E
So I could tell my song to the streetlight
(G#m7 G#7/4 F#/G# E)*
Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own
Could've had a wife and a child
Should've made that house a home
A9 B
I don't know why my life is so wild
E B/D# A/C#
Now the years all slip away
E B/D# A/C#
And things are like they're gonna stay
E B/D# A/C#
All the chances I didn't take are just
G#m7 F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
G#m7 F#m7
Taking space and time
G#m7 F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
Solo: (C#7/4 A7+) 3 times F#m7 A
(C#7/4 A7+) 3 times
(G#m7 G#7/4 F#/G# E)*
So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight
I've got to get my shadow behind me
Try and make some sense of it all
F#m G#m A B
With my feet on the ground and my heart still free
E B/D# A/C#
As the years will slip away
E B/D# A/C#
I'll let the cards fall where they may
E B/D# A/C#
And all the roads I didn't take will be just
G#m7 F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
B F#/A# E
As the years will slip away
B F#/A# E
And the cards fall as they may
B F#/A# E
All the chances I didn't take will be just
D#m7 C#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
D#m7 C#m7
Taking space and time
D#m7 C#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind
G#m7 F#m7
One more thing in the back of my mind...
