Csus4  C  Bb6  Bb6/5  x4

VERSE 1
Csus4                   C
Looking back upon my life
                  Bb6                   Bb6/5
And the places that I've been
Csus4                    C
Pictures, faces, girls I've loved
    Bb6                          Bb6/5
I try to remember when
       Csus4                   C
Of faded memories on the wall
              Bb6                       Bb6/5
Some names I have forgotten
       Csus4                 C
But each one is a memory I
  Bb6                      Bb6/5
Look back on so often.

CHORUS
   F5                    C*
I look into the past
    F5                       C*
I want to make it last
               Bb
I was there
              C*
I was there
  F5                     C*
I look into the past
     F5                      C*
I want to make it last
               Bb
I was there

I was there

VERSE 2
  Csus4                      C
Looking back what I have done
               Bb6                      Bb6/5
There's lots more life to live
Csus4               C
At times I feel overwhelmed
    Bb6                              Bb6/5
I question what I can give
       Csus4            C
But I don't let it get me down
       Bb6                              Bb6/5
Or cause me too much sorrow
     Csus4                                C
There's no doubt about who I am
  Bb6                       Bb6/5
I always have tomorrow

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
