[Intro]
G Cadd9 G D
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G
Is the chalk still lying by the walls at our favorite bar?
D Cadd9 G
With pictures still telling of all the good times so far?
G Cadd9 G
Is it me that you see when old sad songs play in the park
D Cadd9 G
By an old man singing of all the love he's been a part?
[Chorus]
D/F#
It’s a kiss goodbye
Cadd9 G
A hug and an "I'll see you soon"
D/F#
As I wave from my window
Cadd9 G
And the fog from my breath blocks your view
Cadd9 D/F#
Then oceans and miles and miles
Em
Seem to change soon
Cadd9
To some days and decades
D/F# G
And old sad songs about you
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G
When the sun won't go down and the nights seem along for the ride
D Cadd9 G
Do you swim all alone in the river ’til new morning's light?
G Cadd9 G
Then the cold winds start blowing and the seasons change 'fore your eyes
D Cadd9 G
As the years pass by and we all become yesterday's wine
[Chorus]
D/F#
It’s a kiss goodbye
Cadd9 G
A hug and an "I'll see you soon"
D/F#
As I wave from my window
Cadd9 G
And the fog from my breath blocks your view
Cadd9 D/F#
Then oceans and miles and miles
Em
Seem to change soon
Cadd9
To some days and decades
D/F# G
And old sad songs about you
[Solo]
D Cadd9 G
D Cadd9 G
D Cadd9 Em
Cadd9 D G
[Chorus]
D/F#
It’s a kiss goodbye
Cadd9 G
A hug and an "I'll see you soon"
D/F#
As I wave from my window
Cadd9 G
And the fog from my breath blocks your view
Cadd9 D/F#
Then oceans and miles and miles
Em
Seem to change soon
Cadd9
To some days and decades
D/F# G
And old sad songs about you
