 I was a dreamer when I was young 
D                   Em      C 
Lyin' on the grass, starin' at the sky

 I never felt the time was moving on 
  D                         Em 
I thought it would stay the same

For all my life 
D         Em          C 
  Playin' games under Christmas lights 
D          Em        C 
  When the world was warm and bright 
D          Em        C

  In the blinking of an eye

 I was a joker when I was at school

Smokin' grass, laughing and gettin' high 
G                    C          G 
 I never cared about nothin' at all 
  D                         Em 
I thought it would stay the same 
    C 
For all my life 
D         Em           C 
  Kissing girls under summer nights 
D          Em        C 
  When the world was big and bright

Bridge:
Am               Em 
  I left home at seventeen 
G                       D 
  Tried to get into the music scene 
Am                        Em 
  It wore me down like an old machine 
  G                         D 
I learned how to work and forgot how to dream, oh

 I fell in love at twenty-one 
D                          Em          C 
Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes 
G                            C     G 
 Wouldn't have traded it for anyone 
  D                         Em 
I thought it would stay the same 
               D 
For all my life 
          Em       C 
But I was just too young to know 
D           Em       C 
  I let her down and let her go 
D      Em             C 
  That time taught me how to cry 
D 
  In the blinking of an eye

 I hit the road at twenty-three 
D                           Em        C 
Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by 
G               C         G 
 Foot-loose and fancy-free 
  D                         Em 
I thought it would stay the same 
               D 
For all my life 
       Em              C 
Oh and practice taught me how to preach 
D               Em        C 
  I touched the world, so out of reach 
D          Em        C 
  And that time, it lived and died 
D                           G  Gsus4 G 
  In the blinking of an eye 


Bridge:
 
Am                  Em 
  It all changed at twenty-nine 
G                         D 
  My boat came in and the stars aligned 
Am                   Em 
  I watched a simple song of mine 
G                         D 
Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah

G*               C*        G* 
 Now I'm here at thirty-six 
D*                       Em*              C* 
Down in the grass, tryna make sense of it all 
G*                C*      G* 
 Maybe there's no easy fix 
    D*                 Em*       C* 
The highest highs come with the hardest falls 
D*        Em*        C* 
  See the good times come and go 
D*         Em*    C* 
  Like the people that you know 
D*    Em*         C* 
  And all you can do is try 
D*                                    G* 
  For it's gone in the blink of an eye
