VERSE 1
B          A              E              B
Every night I dream the same dream
B                 A                    E           B
Of getting older and older all the time
B                A              E             B
I ask you now, what does this mean?
B                    A                 E       B
Are these problems just in my mind?
B                  A               E            B
Things are easy when you're a child
B                            A                                 E           B
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
B                          A           E        B
The length I've gone are just long miles
B                            A         E     B
Would they be shorter if I were dead

CHORUS
C5       D5            Bsus4
Every time I look in my past
C5              D5        Bsus4
I always wish I was there
C5               D5               Bsus4
I wish my youth would forever last
C5                      D5             Bsus4
Why are these times so unfair

VERSE 2
B                      A                    E            B
Look at my friends and see what they've done
B            A               E                    B
Ask myself why they had to change
B                   A             E               B
I like them better when they were young
B                        A        E         B
Now all these times are rearranged
B          A                   E               B
I look down and stand there and cry
B             A         E                 B
Nothing ever will be the same
B                  A           E            B
The sun is rising, now I ask why?
B                            A             E                          B
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
