CAll my best days Fmaj7are behind me Cnow
CPhotographs tell Fmaj7of my wedding Cvows.
And if you want Gheroes then I'd Fsail up to the Cstars
For all I Ggot beneath my Fskin are tears and Cscars.
I walked in these shoes ten thousand miles,
Been through all sorts of bleating trials,
So if you want heroes then I'll tell you where to go
I'll sell you a map to thank the faces that you know
Oh but for now I'll just be at this all night show
Oh yes tonight I'll spend my lonely dollar slow.
Yes I've loved and lost again
Happy ever afters never been
And if you want love than I suggest that you not wait
Cause I will know not what I've waited at heaven's gate
All my best days are behind me now
Still I find a way to live somehow.

Cause I will know not what I've waited at heaven's gate

All my best days are behind me now

Still I find a way to live somehow.
