  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.

  

  

  This pattern repeats, even though the verse SOUNDS different the second

  time around.

  

  

  Enjoy!
