There was a [C]time
There was a [F]place
There was your [G]name[F]
It was your [C]face
I was six[C]teen
Thought I knew the [F]plan
You were my [G]girl[F]
and I was your [C]man
Late nights on the phone
Late nights in the car
Late nights chasing you
Where ever you were
Maybe those were the days
I know those were my nights
I left them so far
So dim to those lights
Chorus:
That [F]even [G]when I [C]dream at night
[F]I cannot [G]see your [C]face
Well, I [F]close my [G]eyes and [C]softly [Am]say
[F]Those were my [G]younger [C]days
Instrumental Break
Friday nights at the park
Pep rallies at school
You cheering for me
Me playin for you
Sometimes I look back
but I really can't see
That girl that I loved
My young sweet Marie
Chorus x2
