Intro: D G/D Bm G Bm A G D G/D D Bm When you find you can somehow G D Make it like all the rest Bm A You won't need to scrounge around for someone else G D Torn between the unknown G D And the place you call home F#m A And the life you want but have never known D There was a time G/D Bm You could put it out of your mind G Bm And leave it all behind A There was a time G D G/D And that time is gone What has life for 50 years In this town done for you Except to earn your name and place on a barstool You spend your whole life in this county You've never been out of state You say you're going to make it out before it's too late There was a time You could put it out of your mind And leave it all behind There was a time And that time is gone D D/G Bm There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense G Bm Now that's turned more intense A And all the grudges you've kept around G D G/D Now are nowhere to be found (Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret, then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord) Remember when you didn't have To look ahead or behind you There was always something right there to do But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap Looking for a way out We keep moving on that's what it's all about There was a time You could put it out of your mind And leave it all behind There was a time And that time is gone
