G C G I was a dreamer when I was young D Em C Lyin' on the grass, and starin' at the sky G C G I never felt that time was moving on D Em I thought it would stay the same C For all my life D Em C Playin' games under Christmas lights D Em C When the world was warm and bright D Em C But that time just seemed to fly D In the blinking of an eye I was a joker when I was at school Smokin' grass, laughing and gettin' high I never cared about nothin' at all I thought it would stay the same For all my life Kissing girls under summer nights When the world was big and bright But that time just passed me by In the blinking of an eye Chorus: Am Em I left home at seventeen G D Tried to get into the music scene Am Em It wore me down like an old machine G D I learned how to work and forgot how to dream, oh I fell in love at twenty-one Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes Wouldn't have traded it for anyone I thought it would stay the same For all my life But I was just too young to know I let her down and let her go That time taught me how to cry In the blinking of an eye In the blinking of an eye G Am Em D G D G Am Em D In the blinking of an eye I hit the road at twenty-three Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by Foot-loose and fancy-free I thought it would stay the same For all my life Oh and practice taught me how to preach I touched the world, so out of reach And that time, it lived and died In the blinking of an eye Chorus: It all changed at twenty-nine My boat came in and the stars aligned I watched a simple song of mine Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah Yeah Now I'm here at thirty-six Down in the grass, tryna make sense of it all Maybe there's no easy fix The highest highs come with the hardest falls See the good times come and go Like the people that you know And all you can do is try For it's gone in the blink of an eye | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
