There Was A Time Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

D G/D Bm G Bm A G D G D

DWhen you find you can Bmsomehow

GMake it like all the Drest

BmYou won't need to scrounge around for someone Aelse

 Torn Gbetween the Dunknown

 And the Gplace you call Dhome

 And the F♯mlife you want but have never Aknown

 There was a Dtime

 You could G/Dput it out of your Bmmind

 And Gleave it all Bmbehind

 There was a Atime

 And that time is Ggone D G/D

What has life for 50 years

In this town done for you

Except to earn your name and place on a barstool

You spend your whole life in this county

You've never been out of state

You say you're going to make it out before it's too late

There was a time

You could put it out of your mind

And leave it all behind

There was a time

And that time is gone

 There was a Dtime when nothing D/Gseemed to make much Bmsense

 Now that's Gturned more Bmintense

 And all the grudges you've kept Aaround

 Now are Gnowhere Dto be G/Dfound

(Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret,

then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord)

Remember when you didn't have

To look ahead or behind you

There was always something right there to do

But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap

Looking for a way out

We keep moving on that's what it's all about

There was a time

You could put it out of your mind

And leave it all behind

There was a time

And that time is gone
