G              C
This day feels long
G              C
It feels brief when the light is gone
G                               C
When I look to my youth I never thought about the time
    G                                 C
The thought of my day to come was the last thing upon my mind


[Chorus 1]
               Am   C
But that was a long Time ago


[Verse 2]
G             C
My adolescent way
G                 C
Feels like it was only yesterday
G                        C
Learning to cast my line right off the riverbed
G                                 C
Feels like yesterday but it was a long time ago I said


[Chorus 2]
         Am   C
It was a long time ago


[Verse 3]
G                       C
We had a blast we had a ball
G              C
I was told man that I could have it all
G                                C
I was told to watch every little thing that I go and say
G                                   C
Told a long long time ago but still got it with me today


[Outro]
         Am   C
It was a long time ago
         Am   C
It was a long time ago
          G
Long time ago
