Em         Am              G Em
You drive down your old street
          Am                    Bm Em
Familiar smiles from those you meet
              Am        G         Em
You've been around been everywhere
                    Am
But objects in the rear view mirror
      Bm               Em
Are closer than they appear

Chorus:
C                D
Looking back is bittersweet
  G
When the world was at your feet
 C                    D
Love would make your life complete
Bm              B        Am  Em
No one makes it on their own

You’ve come so far
In your comfortable car
Now objects in the rear view mirror
Seem closer than they are

Chorus:
Looking back is bittersweet
All the world was at your feet
Love could make your life complete
Yeah, love could make your life complete
Teach your heart to skip a beat
Lift your eyes above the street
This is where you once belonged

G                        C
Come on now, its not so bad
Am                            D
Thinking back on the fund we had
C                Am
We can stitch a life together
Em              Bm
With the fibres of the past
         C              Am
But you cannot make a fleeting moment
  Bm             B
Promise it will last

Looking back is bittersweet
Love the world was at your feet
Lift your eyes above the street
This is where you once belonged

Been everywhere
And now you’re here
And objects in the rear view mirror
Seem to disappear
