[Intro: ]A E A A E A
A
I remember running wild and free
Me and all my friends would meet
D
In the valley where the climbing tree grows
E
And in her branches we would play
She would keep our secrets safe
A
From hidden dangers of the world below
A
And we could solve the mystery
If we could only count the rings
D
And see the story only they could show
E
How old it is how long it's been
Since loving hands had planted it
A
How long it's gonna live nobody knows
Chorus
D A E A
Is love like this
D E
A magic feeling better left alone
D A E F#m
Can we hold it
D E
Or is it just a thing that comes and goes
NC A E A A E A
Nobody knows
A
I remember shooting fireworks
Out into the universe
D
We'd light 'em up and watch 'em disappear
E
Like days that vanished in a haze
Off into the milky way
A
I wonder where on earth went all those years
A
Now I could try to win your trust
Say lots of things and make things up
D
But in the end that wouldn't make it so
E
The more you ask the more you live
The more you try to question it
A
The more the answer is nobody knows
Repeat Chorus
D A E F#m
Can we hold it
D E
Or is it just a thing that comes and goes
NC A E
Nobody knows
A E A
Nobody knows
