  DAnd now we'll never know
   EmThat sense that Ctomorrow was far Gaway
And our Ddreams they will never fade
   EmWe never Cthought the good times would GendD  
[Chorus]
   EmCan we go back to those Cdays - When everything was Gsimple then?
And nothing could ever Dchange

I wish I could Dremain - Back in yesterdays

[Intro]

Em C G D

[Verse 1]

Em C G

Up from the ashes and over the hill

We knew more then than we ever will

Em C G

Back when the days passed by so slow

And now we'll never know

Em C G

That sense that tomorrow was far away

And our dreams they will never fade

Em C G D

We never thought the good times would end

[Chorus]

Em C G

Can we go back to those days - When everything was simple then?

And nothing could ever change

Em C G

Can we go back to those days - We didn't have a care at all

I wish I could remain - Back in yesterdays

Em G C D

[Verse 2]

Em C G

Upon the shadows of the days gone by

D Em

They seem like scenes from a different life

C G

We didn't notice as the days went past

We knew it couldn't last

Em C G

But looking back I wouldn't change a thing

The memories shared they'll always stay with me

Em C G

We never thought the good times would end

[Chorus]

Em C G

Can we go back to those days - When everything was simple then?

And nothing could ever change

Em C G

Can we go back to those days - We didn't have a care at all

I wish I could remain - Back in yesterdays

Em C G D

Back in yesterdays

Em C G D

Back in yesterdays
