I dont feel or see anymore, I dont feel or see anymore
Am C G Am C G
To be young, to be young
Am C G
Were just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream
Am C G
My job, my house, my car, my whole social scene
Dm G C Am
So high are the stakes, every move we make
F G C
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
CHORUS:
F Am
Here in the only life I know
G
Those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs
F Am
Thats just the way the story goes
G
All Ive learned I still wish I didnt know
G Am C G (x2)
All I didnt know, oh, when we were young
VERSE:
Am C G
When I was young I told myself Id keep my friends
Am C G
They were good and I was true, didnt need to end
Dm G
Oh how theyve risen they fallen
C Am
Like the sun circles round
F G Am
Guess Ive done just as well as anyone
F G C
Hard to accept it, Im just anyone
F Am
But here in this only life I know
G
Those summer days rush out like water from the lawn
F Am
Its just the way the story goes
G
Stand in line now and talk about the day when we were young
INTERLUDE:
Am C G (x4)
Dm G C Am
F G Am
F G
VERSE (like intro):
G
My conscious couldve sunbathed
Every day in my bright blue mind
Now its crowded with guilt and purpose and
G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em
I just want it all aligned
G [ch]F#/G[/ch] Em
I just want it all aligned
G [ch]F#/G[/ch] F/G
I just want it all aligned
F G Am G
Here in the only life I know
F G Am
Thats just the way the story goes
G
And Ill be damned, Ill be damned
CHORUS:
F Am
Here in the only life I know
G
Not taking notice I dont know which way to go
F Am
Its just the way the story goes
G
Ill be damned if Im to live it out alone
F G Am
Here in the only life I know
G
With any waste of time it hits so close to home
F G Am
Its just the way the story goes
G
Ill be damned if Im to live it out alone
I wont live it out alone
Wont live it out alone
VERSE:
Am C G
Were just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream
Am C G
My job my house my clothes my whole social scene
Dm G
So high are the stakes
Dm G C Am
So high are the stakes, every move we make
F G Am
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
Dm G C Am
And one day, one day, one bright clear day
F G Am
I think we all might just disappear
F G C Am
Sink on down in that river cold and clear, my dear
F G Am
On down like leaves in an icy stream
F G C
On down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
