Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I was a dreamer when I was young
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Lyin' on the grass, and starin' at the sky
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I never felt that time was moving on
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
I thought it would stay the same
ch]C[/ch
For all my life
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Playin' games under Christmas lights
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When the world was warm and bright
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But that time just seemed to fly
ch]D[/ch
In the blinking of an eye
Interlude
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I was a joker when I was at school
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Smokin' grass, laughing and gettin' high
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I never cared about nothin' at all
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
I thought it would stay the same
ch]C[/ch
For all my life
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Kissing girls under summer nights
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When the world was big and bright
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But that time just passed me by
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
In the blinking of an eye
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
I left home at seventeen
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Tried to get into the music scene
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
It wore me down like an old machine
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I learned how to work and forgot how to dream, oh
Interlude
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Yea-ea-eah
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I fell in love at twenty-one
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Wouldn't have traded for anyone
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
I thought it would stay the same
ch]D[/ch
For all my life
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But I was just too young to know
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I let her down and let her go
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And that time taught me how to cry
ch]D[/ch
In the blinking of an eye
Interlude
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
In the blinking of an eye
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I hit the road at twenty-three
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Footloose and fancy-free
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
I thought it would stay the same
ch]D[/ch
For all my life
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Oh and practice taught me how to preach
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I touched a world, so out of reach
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And that time, it lived and died
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gsus4[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
In the blinking of an eye
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
It all changed at twenty-nine
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
My boat came in and the stars aligned
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
I watched a simple song of mine
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah
Interlude
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Yea-ea-eah

Outro
[ch]G[/ch]* [ch]C[/ch]* [ch]G[/ch]*
Now I'm here at thirty-six
[ch]D[/ch]* [ch]Em[/ch]* [ch]C[/ch]*
Down in the grass, tryin' to make sense of it all
[ch]G[/ch]* [ch]C[/ch]* [ch]G[/ch]*
Maybe there's no easy fix
[ch]D[/ch]* [ch]Em[/ch]* [ch]C[/ch]*
The highest highs come with the hardest falls
[ch]D[/ch]* [ch]Em[/ch]* [ch]C[/ch]*
See the good times come and go
[ch]D[/ch]* [ch]Em[/ch]* [ch]C[/ch]*
Like the people that you know
[ch]D[/ch]* [ch]Em[/ch]* [ch]C[/ch]*
And all you can do is try
[ch]D[/ch]* [ch]G[/ch]*
For it's gone in the blink of an eye
