CWhen was the day
When Amsuddenly
GAll of the Ftime rolled away G  
You were Cdrifting along
AmHaving some Gfun
When you Fnoticed the clock G  
FSuddenly eGverything
Emfell out of Fplace
You burned all your Gbridges
Cos you Emgrew up too Flate
And the people you love

AmAnd Gyou still can´t Fmake it back home G  
You were Ccaught out on your own
AmStill Gwaiting for the Fwistle to blow G  
Suddenly…
