When we were younger 
We thought everyone was on our side 
Then we grew a little 
                    Cadd9 
And romanticized the time I saw 
                     G 
Flowers in your hair 
        D 
Takes a boy to live 
      Cadd9                            G 
Takes a man to pretend he was there 

G 
So then we grew a little 
Knew a lot 
And now we demonstrated it to the cops 
             Cadd9 
And all the things we said 
                         G  
We were self assured 
        D 
It's a long road to wisdom 
       Cadd9                         G 
It's a short one to being ignored 

         Em     D 
Be in my eye 
             G 
Be in my heart 
         Em           D 
By in my eye, eyeyeye 
             G 
Be in my heart 

G 
So now I think that I could love you back 
And I hope its not too late 
'Cause youre so attractive 
       Cadd9 
And the way you move 
                     G 
I won't close my eyes 
         D 
Takes a man to live 
        Cadd9                             G 
Takes a woman to make him compromise 

         Em     D 
Be in my eye 
             G 
Be in my heart 
         Em           D 
By in my eye, eyeyeye 
             G 
Be in my heart
