Introduction
[Acoustic nylon-strung guitar.]
[Cmaj] [G] [Dm7] [G7sus4] [Cmaj]
[(C] [in] [bass)] [(D] [in] [bass)]
Verse 1
[The lick in the intro carries on under the vocal.]
Its been a long time since we hung around together in the street
and I miss those days when the world would wait for us
with our crowd of friends we'd sit along the pavemnent near your house
'til the sun came down and we brought the stars out....
...(out).......
Verse 2
[Cue drums.]
When I heard it for the first time I could only stand and cry.
you were just a boy, we were all so innocent
we never thought this kind of thing would happen in our lives
but it broke our hearts and we won't forget, no
Bridge
[Detached chords on acoustic guitar - lots of space. Electric guitar muted.]
All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone,
and I wonder where you are, because you never let me know, no no no
Chorus
[Mute electric guitar - double time, but quiet.]
Your always going too soon.
I'm always left on my own..
[Louder with full drum kit and backing vocals.]
Its ok, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down.
Instrumental

Verse 3
I can see your face as clearly now as I could then
and it doesn't fade, but the times have changed so much
I would like to tell you all about the things that we have done
and we're doing fine, but I think you know that
Bridge
All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone,
and I wonder where you are, because you never let me know, no no no
Chorus
Your always going too soon.
I'm always left on my own..
Its ok, I understand, sometimes life can hold you down.
Final Instrumental
(bend) (bend)
I can see your face as clear, I can see your face as clear...
