[Verso 1]

Old eyes remember, as the music plays

Memories return, and then slowly fade
Em C G C
Who he was once, it doesn't matter now

What matters anymore, is what time will allow
[Verso 2]
G C G D
His fingers fumble, as they recall a forgotten tune
G C G D
A voice that once was his, echoes through the empty room
Em C G C
The pictures on the wall, tell a story so old

He hardly remembers, that everybody knows
[Refrão]
G D G
That the money never satisfied, it brought only decay

And it bought the pills and the whiskey, that haunt him to this day
C G C G

He attended church when he was young, but they didn't like his hair

So when they started playin', his songs on the radio
G D G
He gave himself to the wild side, and he tried to kill his soul
[Verso 4]
G C G D
Seems like an age ago, he got outta prison
G C G D
And now he appreciates, the feelin' of just livin'

'Cause he knows now who he's singing for, and it ain't for them
[Refrão]
