Intro: C Am Dm7 G4 G C Am
C Am
There were times in those early days
Dm7 G4 G
When everyone just stayed amazed
C Am
Everything moving so fast
Dm7 G4 G
Everyone getting so gassed
Dm7 Em
I knew right then and there that
C Am
We could stay this way forever
Dm7 Em G4 G
In each and every way
C Am
From the moment I fell into things
Dm7 G4 G
Sunlight captured everything
C Am
Space and time would just remind us
Dm7 G4 G
No one really had to find us
Dm7 Em
I knew right then and there that
C Am
We could stay this way forever
Dm7 Em G4 G
In each and every way
F Em
Everything was easy then
Dm7 Cmaj7
We were on our way
F Em
On the road to paradise
Dm7 G
Nothing in our way
C Am
There were starry nights along the way
Dm7 G4 G
A revelation every day
C Am
Characters who hitched a ride
Dm7 G4 G
To crossroads in the dead of night
Dm7 Em
I knew right then and there that
C Am
We could stay this way forever
Dm7 Em G4 G
In each and every way
C Am
We pretended we were flightless birds
Dm7 G4 G
Communicating without words
C Am
Racing in from all directions
Dm7 G4 G
Seeking quiet introspection
Dm7 Em
I knew right then and there that
C Am
We could stay this way forever
Dm7 Em G4 G
In each and every way
F Em
Everything was easy then
Dm7 Cmaj7
We were on our way
F Em
Careful not to break things when
Dm7 G
They got in our way
(instrumental) C Am Dm7 G4 G (repeat and fade)
