Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am][Em][D][G][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I was
a dreamer when [C]I was y[G]oung
[D]Lying on the grass and [Em]staring at [C]the sky
[G]I never felt that time was[C]
mov[G]ing on
[D]I thought it would stay the
[Em]same for all [C]my [D]life
Play[Em]ing games

[Verse 2]
under Christ[C]mas lights
[D]When the[Em] world was war[C]m and bri[D]ght
But [Em]that time just seemed [C]to fly[D]
In the blinking of an eye
[G][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]I was a joker
when I [C]was at [G]school
[D]Smoking [Em]grass, laughing and get[C]ting high
[G]I never cared abo[C]ut nothing at [G]all
I [D]thought it would stay the
[Em]same for all [C]my [D]life
Kiss[Em]ing girls

[Verse 4]
under summer [C]nights
[D]When the[Em] world was big and[C] bri[D]ght
But [Em]that time just [C]passed me [D]by
In the blinking of an eye
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]I left home at 1[Em]7[G]
Tried to get into [D]the music scene
[Am]It wore me down like[Em] an old machine
[G]I learned how to work and forgot how[D] to dream,
[G]oh[Am][Em]

[Interlude 1]
Yeah
[D][G][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]I fell in love at [C]21[G][D]
Down in the grass [Em]get ting lost
in her wide [G]eyes
Wouldn't have traded for any[C]one
[G]I t[D]hought it would stay the sam[Em]e,
for all my [C]life[D]
[Em]But I was

[Verse 7]
just too young [C]to [D]know
I let [Em]her down and let h[C]er g[D]o
And that [Em]time taught me how [C]to cry[D]
In the blinking of an eye
[G]Yea[Am]h, in[Em] the[D] blink[G]
[D]ing of an eye

[Interlude 2]
[G][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 8]
[G]I hit the road at [C]23[G][D]
Stood in the grass,
[Em]singing songs for pass[C]ers- [G]by
Footloose [C]and fancy [G]free
[D]I thought it would stay the
[Em]same for all my [D]life
Oh, [Em]and practice

[Verse 9]
taught me
how [C]to preach[D]
I touched [Em]a world so out of [C]re[D]ach
And [Em]that time it lived [C]and [D]died
In the blinking of an eye
[G]

[Verse 10]
[Am]It all chang[Em]ed at 29[G]
My boat came in and [D]the stars aligned
[Am]I watched a simple song [Em]of mine
[G]Travel the world in the blink of [D]an eye
[G]Yea[Am]h[Em]

[Interlude 3]
[D][G][Am][Em][D][G]
[Am][Em][D][G][Am][Em][D]
[G]

[Verse 11]
Now I'm here [C]at [G]36[D]
Down in the grass trying
to make [Em]sense of [C]it all[G]
Maybe there's no [C]easy [G]fix
The [D]highest highs come [Em]with
the [C]hardest [D]falls

[Verse 12]
See the [Em]good times [C]come [D]and go
Like [Em]the people [C]that you [D]know
And [Em]all you can do i[C]s [D]try
For it's gone in the blink of an eye
