Verse:
C            F
When I was a baby
         Bb          C
I had no care in the world
   Bb    F      Bb     F        C
But now, I'm a man and troubles fill my head
C          F            Bb         C
When I was five, it was good to be alive.
    Bb  F     Bb      F       Bb
But now I'm a man I wish that I were dead.
D      Bb          F     Fadd4   F (last two quickly)
My how time rushes by.
   Eb                               F   Fadd4   F
The moment you're born you start to die
       D   Bb         F
'cause time waits for no man.
         Eb          F
And your lifespan is over before it began.
Bb     Bb7            Eb
When I sit here at my window
              Ebmin
My life comes back to me.
             Gmin           F
It's been so long since the good days.
             C
It's been so long.
