[G] [C]
(verse)
Well I see the [G]souls[C] of so many [G]friends,[C]
[G] And I see us [C]all back here [G]again.
[C] With sandy [G]floors and [D]ceiling [G]fans,
[C] A Rastafarian [D]one-man band with [G]songs
That fill my [C]memories like a tip [G]jar.
[C] Yeah, that's what I [G]see,[C] when I see this [G]bar.[C]
(verse)
[G] I see [C]tourists at Christmas [G]time,[C]
[G] And I taste [C]beers with a hint of [G]lime.
[C] I feel [G]lonely cause it's [D]not the [G]same,
[C] Different faces and [D]different names,
[G]Living like pirates [C]out among the [G]stars.
[C] Yeah, that's what I [G]see,[C] when I see this [G]bar.
(chorus)
[D]Pieces of our past slowly [G]slip away,
[Em] But time just stands [D]still when I walk in this [C]place.
(verse)
And I see a [G]kid[C] coming into his [G]own
[C] And a [G]man[C] learning to move [G]on.
[C] Somehow [G]trying to [D]find his [G]way,
[C] A dreamer betting on[D] blind faith
[G]Chasing that sun and [C]following his [G]heart.
[C] Yeah, that's what I [G]see,[C] when I see this [G]bar.

(verse)
[G] A few have [C]moved on back to [G]Maine,[C]
[G] Jacksonville[C] and Key Bis[G]cayne.
[C] Some are [G]still [D]living the [G]dream,
[C] Stuck in still [D]life it seems.
No [G]matter where they've been,[C] or where they [G]are,
[C] Yeah, I see 'em [G]here,[C] when I see this [G]bar.
C G C, G C,
when I see this bar.
(verse-out)
[G] I wonder where we [C]go from here
[G] (That's what I [C]see when I see this [G]bar)
Life ain't over but it's [C]always near
[G] (That's what I [C]see when I see this [G]bar)
I think about all the [C]good times that we [G]had
(That's what I [C]see when I see this [G]bar)
It makes me happy and it [C]makes me sad
[G] (That's what I [C]see when I see this [G]bar)
How could we be so [C]close, now so far a[G]part
(That's what I [C]see when I see this [G]bar)
That's what I [C]feel,[G] that's what I [C]see (when I see this [G]bar)
Yeah we were living like [C]pirates and wannabe [G]stars
