Intro: G#m7  G#7/4   F#/G#  E (3x)

(G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E) 
I woke up to my world this morning 
Took a long look in the looking glass 
Last night I guess I had one or too many 

C#m7                      E 
Somebody tried to tell me I had no class 

(G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#    E) 
What ever happened to me 
Maybe I've been living on lies 
Never really had a dream come true 

A9                   B 
Then again I guess I never really tried 

E       B/D#      A/C# 
Now the years all slip away 
    E          B/D#         A/C# 
And things are like they're gonna stay 
E       B/D#    A/C# 
All the roads I didn't take are just 

G#m7                  F#m7 
One more thing in the back of my mind 
G#m7             F#m7 
Taking space and time 

 (G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E) 
Wish I'd finished that book I never started 
Maybe that's the story of my life 
Should've learned to play that saxophone 
           C#m7                  E 
So I could tell my song to the streetlight 

 (G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E) 
Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own 
Could've had a wife and a child 
Should've made that house a home 
   A9                           B 
I don't know why my life is so wild 

E       B/D#      A/C# 
Now the years all slip away 
    E          B/D#         A/C# 
And things are like they're gonna stay 
E           B/D#  A/C# 
All the chances I didn't take are just 

G#m7                  F#m7 
One more thing in the back of my mind 
G#m7             F#m7 
Taking space and time 
G#m7                  F#m7 
One more thing in the back of my mind 

Solo:  (C#7/4  A7+) (3x)   F#m7  A 
       (C#7/4  A7+) (3x) 

(G#m7    G#7/4   F#/G#   E) 
So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight 
I've got to get my shadow behind me 
Try and make some sense of it all 
        F#m           G#m         A            B 
With my feet on the ground and my heart still free 

E        B/D#      A/C# 
As the years will slip away 
E            B/D#       A/C# 
I'll let the cards fall where they may 
E           B/D#    A/C# 
And all the roads I didn't take will be just 
G#m7                           F#m7 
One more thing in the back of my mind 

B         F#/A#     E 
As the years will slip away 
B         F#/A#    E 
And the cards fall as they may 
B         F#/A#   E 
All the chances I didn't take will be just 

D#m7                  C#m7 
One more thing in the back of my mind 
D#m7             C#m7 
Taking space and time 
D#m7                  C#m7 
One more thing in the back of my mind 
G#m7                  F#m7 
One more thing in the back of my mind...
