      Bm          E
I was out in the city
      Bm
I was out in the rain
I was feeling down-hearted
I was drinking again

I was standing by the bridges
Where the dark water flows
I was talking to a stranger
About times long ago

Chorus:
        D
I was young
       A
I was foolish
       F#
I was angry
       Bm
I was vain
        D
I was charming
       A
I was lucky
         F#          Bm
Tell me how have I changed

         D
Now I'm out
    A         Bm
Oh out of control
         D
Now I'm out
    A         Bm
Oh out of control

Oh help me now

And the girls in the doorway
And the boys on the game
And the drunks and the homeless
They all know me

And the police on the corner
Give a nod and a wave
As they point me
To my final destination

Chorus

In the hotel I'm excited
By the smile on her face
But I wondered
How was time
Gonna change her

Chorus
