Borrowed Time
View chords used in this chart
D A E
When I was younger a-ha
Living confusion and deep despair
When I was younger a-ha
Live in illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger a-ha
Full of ideals and broken dreams, my friend
When I was younger a-ha
Everything simple but not so clear
Refrain: (always two times!)
D E A A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Living on borrowed time
D E
Without a thought for tomorrow
Now I am older a-ha
The more I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older a-ha
The future is brighter and now is the hour
Refrain: ...
Good to be older a-ha
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older, a-ha
Do not believe in those days I missed
Refrain: ...
