Intro -  Amx 8
AmIt seems just like yesterday when Fwe were standing E7here
AmYankee's hat upon my head and yFour voice in my E7ear
As I taDmlked about the future and all the Amthings we'd do
I nFever thought your lovin' words would fBrighten me from you
AmI remember when I sold my cFar to board that E7train
AmYou said you were sure that I would nFot come back E7again
And Dmnow you see with your own eyes and Amstart to realize
I'm nFot the man I thought I was so tBry to sympathize
The way you tAmhink about your lBife
Is gonna chaE7nge, change tonAmight
Don't even Amtry out that fDmrown
'Cuz your E7man is back in tAmown
Interlude - Am x 2 bars
I'm Amsure you've been thinkin' 'bout just wFhere the hell I've bE7een?
AmPainted your own pictures of the tFrouble I got E7in
DmThere were times I will admit my heAmart saw better days
But IF'm the type that has to lose to fBind I had it made
AmNo use talkin' too much about tFhings we cannot chE7ange
I Amknow you think it's crazy but I'm hFere to set things E7straight
DmI'm standing here to say that IAm'll give love a try
FIt's my complicated way to Bsay I'll simplify
The way you tAmhink about your lBife
Is gonna chaE7nge, change tonAmight
Don't even Amtry out that fDmrown
'Cuz your E7man is back in tAmown
Baby, it's Amcool to take your Btime

So let's jump Amoff of this merry-go-Dmround
'Cuz your E7man is back in tAmown
Interlude - Am x 2 bars
