[Verse 1]
How did we Absay?
What did we talk Dbabout?
It's all a hAbaze
And now it's fadDbing out
Out of a time Fmwhen we could Ebsmile just to live lifeDb  
Just to see the lightEb  
[Verse 2]
Places we Abwent
That I can Dbremember
The letters I Absent
Not out of Dblove instead
More as a Fmkeepsake anchoring me Ebdown to keep me holding Dbon
A souvenFmir of a time that's Ebpast its prime to the Dbend
Can I just preEbtend?
[Chorus]
To Fmtip the hourAbglass Dbback over aEbgain
To Fmbe back on the grass Absharing Dbstories of places we Ebwent
 FmTogether forAbever no Dbmatter how near or how Ebfar
 FmWhat I'd give to havEbe that back AbagainDb  Ab  Db  
[Verse 2]
AbWhen did we change?
That "slowly Dbgrow apart"?
We're on our Abway
To losing Dbyears of carefree friendship
But I Fmguess that's what I Ebhate about growing Dbup
The rest is Fmhistory but the point is Ebstuck and never coming Dbup
Was it just bad Ebluck?
[Chorus]
Wish we could Fmtip the hourAbglass Dbback over aEbgain
FmBe back on the Abgrass sharing Dbstories of places we Ebwent

I Fmlove to have Ablost just to Dbsay how I'm Ebgone
No Fmone will know the Abcost that's been Dbhidden all aEblong
I Fmknow you say I Ablove 'cause I Dbknow what I'm not Ebworth
But the Fmsecond best to Ablosing lost what they Dbloved the most on EbearthFm  
[Chorus]
N.C.
To tip the hourglass back over again

How did we say?

What did we talk about?

It's all a haze

And now it's fading out

Fm Eb Db

Out of a time when we could smile just to live life

Just to see the light

[Verse 2]

Places we went

That I can remember

The letters I sent

Not out of love instead

A souvenir of a time that's past its prime to the end

Can I just pretend?

[Chorus]

When did we change?

That "slowly grow apart"?

We're on our way

To losing years of carefree friendship
