Intro:  G  Em7  C   D   G   Em7   C   D   D

      G       Em7         C      D
I can see the place where I came from
      G          C            C    D
I can hear those sounds right now
      G        Em7    C       D
I can find the path I used to run
      G       C          C    D
And believe I still know how
       C        G    Am          Am7
Then I shake my head clearing my vision
  C          G         Am    C    D   D
I keep those scenes at bay
          G       Em7         C      D
And I can see the place where I came from
         Am  Em         C   D       G
Slippin' fur - ther and fur - ther away.

      G        Em7   C       D
I can feel the way I used to feel
         G         C         C       D
When the world was small and green
        G      Em7     C      D
And you sang a song of soft appeal
      G        C     C       D
And I curled into my dream
       C        G    Am          Am7
Then I shake my head clearing my vision
  C          G         Am    C     D
I keep those scenes at bay
          G        Em7   C       D
And I can feel the way I used to feel
         Am  Em         C   D       G
Slippin' fur - ther and fur - ther away.

C          G      D          G
Time keeps movin' faster and faster
C       G      D
I'm not losin' track
    C    G          D             G
Oh, I'm afraid that somethin's forgotten
   Am     C       D        D      D(beat 1 only)
So I keep lookin' back
      G        Em7       C       D
I can hear the songs you used to sing
      G       C         C    D
I can swear I won't let go
         G          Em7      C    D
You were strong and you knew everything
       G      C      C     D
Back before I had to know
       C        G    Am          Am7
Then I shake my head clearing my vision
  C          G         Am   C    D    D
I keep those scenes at bay
          G        Em7       C       D
And I can hear the songs you used to sing
         Am  Em         C   D       G
Slippin' fur - ther and fur - ther away.
                    Em7       C       D
Yes, I can hear the songs you used to sing
         Am  Em         C   D       G
Slippin' fur - ther and fur - ther away.
