Standard (EADGBE)
Once upon a time you and I
when we were green and easy
fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky
There was nothing we can sell or buy
'Cause all we really needed
was our barefeet and a pair of wings to fly.
Pre-chorus
What do you think darling?
Have we lived too much too fast?
And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,
wishing the time hadn't passed?
Chorus
Can you tell me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
and our dreams for plans?
Can you tell me how it used to be
when we really cared?
and when love was on our side
on our side.

And the piano goes:(D# - F - F# - F - C# - A# - D# - F - F# - F - C - A#)x2 }
I remember all times before,
when could spend our livings,
staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor.
Our bocabulary wasn't broad,
I spoke so little English
than the word "stress" would sound like something odd.
Pre-chorus
What do you think darling?
Have we lived too much too fast?
And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,
wishing the time hadn't passed?
Chorus
Can you tell me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
and our dreams for plans?
Can you tell me how it used to be
when we really cared?
and when love was on our side
on our side.
[---]x2 And the piano.
Bridge
What is your guess darlin'?
Have I lived too much too fast?
so If you, If you ever come and find me cryin'
now you know, now you know why...
Chorus
Can you tell me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
and our dreams for plans?
Can you tell me how it used to be
when we really cared?
and when love was on our side
on our side.
