[Verse 1]
        AAlmost out of adolescence
        And Dinto a world we didn't knAow
        Not necessary love
        But in trDouble with a fAire down Ebelow
        Looking bAack for a feelin'
        It's just sDomething far away and long agAo
        I can stDill recAall the nEame
        But she's really someone i don't even knAow
[Chorus]
        ABut she was rDight for the time
        AShe was rDight fAor the tEime
        But time has a way of moving Aon
[Verse 2]
        AI do recall a gypsy lady
        And a yDounger man in over his Ahead
        I was her believer
        Taken Din by every lAoving word Eshe said
        It was thAere for the first time
        The swDeet and the bitter taste of lAove
        When you're yDoung Aand alEive
        Too much never seems to be enAough
[Verse] (a tone higher)
        BIt seems the young and the innocent
        Are drEawn like a moth to a flBame
        To the wild and the reckless
        BelieEving they are Bone in the F#same
        She nBever found a way
        To sepEarate the good from the bBad
        And she nEever uBnderstF#ood
        That love was all we ever really hBad
[Verse]
        BShe was rEight for the time

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

Almost out of adolescence

D A

And into a world we didn't know

Not necessary love

D A E

But in trouble with a fire down below

Looking back for a feelin'

D A

It's just something far away and long ago

D A E

I can still recall the name

But she's really someone i don't even know

[Chorus]

A D

But she was right for the time

A D A E

She was right for the time

But time has a way of moving on

[Verse 2]

I do recall a gypsy lady

D A

And a younger man in over his head

I was her believer

D A E

Taken in by every loving word she said

It was there for the first time

D A

The sweet and the bitter taste of love

D A E

When you're young and alive

Too much never seems to be enough

[Verse] (a tone higher)

It seems the young and the innocent

E B

Are drawn like a moth to a flame

To the wild and the reckless

E B F#

Believing they are one in the same

She never found a way

E B

To separate the good from the bad

E B F#

And she never understood

That love was all we ever really had

[Verse]

B E

She was right for the time

But time has a way of moving on

With her eyes on tomorrow

One day she turned around and i was gone

I'd have to say in a way

She just might be better off alone

E B F#

She was right for the time

But time has a way of moving on
