INTRO:
Bm  G (D) A   x4


VERSE I:
 Bm              G             A
 Wasting time at nowhere very special
 Bm             G                A
 Seems almost a part of it these days
 Bm           G               A
 I know every crack along the pavement
 Bm                  G         A
 I remember what you said in '88


CHORUS:
                E                  A
 You said "It's time to leave this town
     E                   A
 The world keeps turning 'round
     Bm              G                A
 The only thing that keeps me here is you"
                E                  A
 You said "It's time to leave this town
     E                   A
 The world keeps turning 'round
     Bm              G                A
 The only thing that keeps me here is you"

Bm  G  A  x2

VERSE II:
 So I'm drinking in the same bar where I met you
 Without you it wouldn't be the same
 We talk for hours and hours 'bout different places
 You said that you would see them all some day


CHORUS


BRIDGE:
 A         E         D
 You were always so good with words
      A         E          D
 The tales you told we've heard
       A         E       D
 The things you said to me that day
       A             E
 Will never fade in memory
         D
 But time is unforgiving
                                     Bm      G       A
 You know that I will make it when I can

Bm  G  A  x3


VERSE III:
 No matter just what window you look out of
 The view just never ever seems to change
 And I swear that we ain't getting any younger
 But we'll chase all of our dreams all the same 


CHORUS

 Bm           G               A
 Just another lonely winter's day ...
