D                    A 
The most as you'll ever go 
    D                       A 
Is back where you used to know 
                     Bm           G 
If grown-ups could laugh this slow 
                       Bm       G 
Where as you watch the hour snow 
              D   A 
Years may go by 
         D        A 
And years may go by 


         D                       A 
So hold on to your special friend 
                    D                    A 
Here, you'll need something to keep her in 
                     Bm              G 
Now you stay inside this foolish grin 
                       Bm    
Though any day your secrets end 
        G                D   A 
Then again years may go by 
        D         A 
And years may go by 


      D                       A 
You saved your own special friend 
                      D                     A 
'Cause here you need something to hide her in 
                          Bm         G 
And you stay inside that foolish grin 
                   Bm    
When everyday now secrets end 
              G                 D   A 
Oh and then again years may go by 
        D        A 
And years may go by 


             D   A 
Years may go by 
      D          A 
And years may go by
