Intro: Em C G D 

verse 1 

        C 
We had maps that unfolded  
 Cm 
back in my day 
            G 
You could drink from the river 
        Em 
We had gods made of clay 
            C 
There were mile-high glaciers,  
    Cm 
no locks on the doors 
      G 
The stars burned brighter  
          D 
We never counted past four 
         C 
And the birds were always watching  
            Cm 
There were monsters in the sea 
         G 
We wore watches on our wrists  
             D 
There were ghosts in the trees 

Em Way back in the days, C you're too young to have seen, G When the nights were darker, D longer and deep
INTERLUDE Am Em G D verse 2 C There was no time or space Cm when I was growing up G We had summer all winter Em The moon rose with the sun C And music sounded better Cm Recorded on rings of ice G And as the songs turned to water D we couldn't help but cry
Em Way back in the good days, C the ones you didn't see, G When everything was better, D darker and deep
OUTRO Am Em G D C Cm G D C Cm G
