Am    C
and when we get home
F          C        G/B
I know we won't be home at all
Am             C
this place we live
F      C        G/B
it is not where we belong
Am              C
and I miss who we were
F                  C        G/B
and the town that we could call our own
Am     C
going back to get away
F     C    G/B         F
after everything has changed

Chorus:
F                         Am
'Cause you remind me of a time
         G        F
when we were so alive
Everything has changed
Do you remember that?
Do you remember that?
Everything has changed
'Cause you help me push aside
all that I have left behind
Everything is changed
Do you remember that?
Do you remember that?

So we stand here now
and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this,
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel
the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away
after everything has changed

Chorus

F              Dm7
taking up our time
F              Dm7
taking up our time
F              Dm7
taking up our time
F
It's taking up our time
    Am
we can't go back
we can't go back at all
F
taking up our time
   Dm
we can't go back
we can't go back at all
F
taking up our time
    Am
we can't go back
we can't go back at all
F
it's taking up our time
Dm
taking up our time.

F
cause you remind me of a time
Am            G/B
when we were so alive
F
do you remember that
Am        G/B      F
do you remember that
