        F                         A#
It was summer in the city and my heart stood still
   C
I looked at the past inside my rearview mirror
           F                    A#
There was nobody behind me and nothing up ahead
      C
The sky was blue and all I knew
                             F
Was I would never feel the same again
            A#                   C
I knew I'd never feel the same again

There was imagery in motion, there was
gossip in the class
There was holding hands and making plans,
I knew it wouldn't last
And of all the time we wasted and all
the time it took
And if I had more time then I wish you would
I really really really wish you would

Dm                             F
But that's the part we never tried to stop
           C
We never tried

Chorus:
F                A#
No regret, don't you forget
         C
This magnificent time
 F                     A#
Seize the day, don't throw away
         C
This magnificent time

I was somewhere in the city and my heart went boom
I packed all my troubles in a different room
And I thought of all the could have beens,
the roads we never took
And how the story ends and I understood
I really really really understood
But that's the part we never tried to stop
We never tried

Chorus - x2

Magnificent time
