Intro: Em C G D 

verse 1 

        C 
We had maps that unfolded  
 Cm 
back in my day 
            G 
You could drink from the river 
        Em 
We had gods made of clay 
            C 
There were mile-high glaciers,  
    Cm 
no locks on the doors 
      G 
The stars burned brighter  
          D 
We never counted past four 
         C 
And the birds were always watching  
            Cm 
There were monsters in the sea 
         G 
We wore watches on our wrists  
             D 
There were ghosts in the trees 


[Refrão]
Em 
Way back in the days,  
            C 
you're too young to have seen, 
          G 
When the nights were darker,  
 D 
longer and deep

verse 2 

       C 
There was no time or space  
     Cm 
when I was growing up 
        G 
We had summer all winter  
     Em 
The moon rose with the sun 
     C 
And music sounded better  
  Cm 
Recorded on rings of ice 
            G 
And as the songs turned to water  
    D 
we couldn't help but cry  


[Refrão]
Em 
Way back in the good days,  
    C 
the ones you didn't see, 
      G 
When everything was better,  
 D 
darker and deep
