Hides behind the sound

Or down a road we travelled

Many times be-fore
[Chorus 2]

The years go by
Dm Bbmaj7
Older yet no wiser
Gm C F
Our hearts and minds remain as they once were
Dm
And after all the time
Dm Bbmaj7
That we have been together

So many times we must have been
F C Bb
This way be-fore
[Chorus 3]

No matter what they say
