Intro: G C
(verse)
G C G C
Well I see the souls of so many friends,
G C G
And I see us all back here again.
C G D G
With sandy floors and ceiling fans,
C D G
A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
C G
That fill my memories like a tip jar.
C G C G C
Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
(verse)
G C G C
I see tourists at Christmas time,
G C G
And I taste beers with a hint of lime.
C G D G
I feel lonely cause it's not the same,
C D
Different faces and different names,
G C G
Living like pirates out among the stars.
C G C G
Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
D G
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em D C
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
(verse)
G C G
And I see a kid coming into his own
C G C G
And a man learning to move on.
C G D G
Somehow trying to find his way,
C D
A dreamer betting on blind faith
G C G
Chasing that sun and following his heart.
C G C G
Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
Instrumental: C G D G, C D G
D G
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em D C
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
(verse)
G C G C
A few have moved on back to Maine,
G C G
Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.
C G D G
Some are still living the dream,
C D
Stuck in still life it seems.
G C G
No matter where they've been, or where they are,
C G C G
Yeah, I see 'em here, when I see this bar.
C G C, G C,
when I see this bar.
(verse-out)
G C
I wonder where we go from here
G C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C
Life ain't over but it's always near
G C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C G
I think about all the good times that we had
C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
G C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C G
How could we be so close, now so far apart
C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C G C G
That's what I feel, that's what I see (when I see this bar)
C G
Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
C G C, G C, G C, G C,
That's what I see when I see this bar
G C G C, G C, G C, G C, G C (fade)
That's what I see when I see this bar
