              C|      |            |
    There were trains    And we outrun 'em.
  C            B      Am|            |
   There were songs    And we outsung 'em.
  A            G       F|         G|          C|   G  
   There were brigh...ter days never ending
  A           B      C|              |
   There was time    And we were burnin'
  C            B       Am|             |
   There were rhymes   And we were learnin'
  A           G     F|          G|                    C|  |  |
   There was all... the love two hearts could hold
                  F|     |  |                   Em|      |   |
And after all this time...    You're always on my mind
                 F|                                  Dm|
Hey I could never let it end  'Cause my heart takes so long to mend
GThe dream that keeps your Fhopes alive   DmThe lonely nights you Ghold inside
                  F|                         G|
And after all this time   You're always on my mind
                G      C|    |
    I still want you
             C|    |            |
    There was rain   That we outlasted
  C           B     Am|           |
   There was pain   But we go past it
  A            G      F|           G|                    C|   G  
   There were last... goodbyes... still left unspoken
  A            B       C|               |
   There were ways... I should have thrilled you
  C             B        Am|                 |
    There were days... when I could have killed you
  A            G      F|         G|                   C|   |   |
   You're the only...  love...  my life has known
                  F|     |  |                    Em|     |    |
And after all this time...     You're always on my mind
                 F|                              Dm|
Hey I could never let you go   A broken heart that heals so slow
GCould never beat for Fsomeone new   DmWhile you're alive and GI am too
                  F|                         G|
And after all this time   You're always on my mind
                G      C|   |
    I still miss you
(Instrumental)
                 F|                                  Dm|
And I could never let it in   'Cause my heart takes so long to mend
GThe dream that keeps your Fhopes alive   DmThe lonely nights you Ghold inside
                  F|                          G|
And after all this time    You're always on my mind
               G       C|   |
   I still want you
                  F|                        G|
Hey after all this time  You're always on my mind
