G Am Em D…………
G Am Em D…………
[Verse 1]
G C G I was a dreamer when I was young
D Em CLyin’ on the grass, starin’ Cat the sky
G C G I never felt the time was moving on
D EmI thought it would stay the same
CFor all my life
D Em C D Playin’ games under Christmas lights
Em C DWhen the world was warm and bright
Em C DBut that time just seemed to fly
G Am Em DIn the blinking of an eye……….
[Verse 2]
G C G I was a joker when I was at school
D Em C Smokin’ grass, laughing and gettin’ high
G C GI never cared about nothin’ at all
D EmI thought it would stay the same
CFor all my life
D Em C D Kissing girls under summer nights
Em D CWhen the world was big and bright
Em D CBut that time just passed me by
GIn the blinking of an eye
[Verse 3]
Am Em I left home at seventeen
G D Tried to get into the music scene
Am Em It wore me down like an old machine
G D G Am EmI learnt how to work and forgot how to dream, oh……..
D G Am Em DYeah………….
[Verse 4]
G C G I fell in love at twenty-one
D Em CDown in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes
G C G Wouldn’t have traded it for anyone
D EmI thought it would stay the same
C DFor all my life
Em C DBut I was just too young to know
Em C DI let her down and let her go
Em C DThat time taught me how to cry
G Am Em DIn the blinking of an eye…………
G Am Em DIn the blinking of an eye…………
[Verse 5]
G C G I hit the road at twenty-three
D Em CStood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by
G C G Foot-loose and fancy-free
D EmI thought it would stay the same
DFor all my life.
Em C DOh and practice taught me how to preach
Em C DI touched the world, so out of reach
Em C DAnd that time, it lived and died
GIn the blinking of an eye
[Verse 6]
Am Em It all changed at twenty-nine
G D My boat came in and the stars aligned
Am Em I watched a simple song of mine
G D G Am EmTravel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah…….
D G Am Em DYeah…………
G Am Em D…………
G Am Em D…………
[Outro]
G C G Now I’m here at thirty-six
D Em CDown in the grass, tryna make sense of it all
G C G Maybe there’s no easy fix
D Em C DThe highest highs come with the hardest falls
Em C DSee the good times come and go
Em C DLike the people that you know
Em C DAnd all you can Do is try
GFor it’s gone in the blink of an eye..
