When I was a bright young man

Walking these quiet streets

And say their good eve-enings
Em D
And I'd take for granted
C
I could even exist here

As the girls go by on their shining bikes
G
Three at a time
C
In perfect synchronicity
Em D Dsus4 D
Their laughter falling in the rain
[Chorus]

And I feel like such a stranger

And I feel like such a child

And I feel like such a stranger

Wish I could just be someone for a while

[Verse 2]
G
When those bright fathers
C
And their lovely wives

Come home from dancing

When those same young mothers

Have to walking pass me by

Only their children
C
Ever look me in the eye

I passed my reflection
C
In the the pretty little gallery windows
G
And I tried to paint a picture

Of what it was that I used to look like

Before age and its vandals

Took an icy wind to my face
Em D C
And I could walk these silver streets
G
And not be a stranger to this place
[Outro]
