 DWhen I was in  Atown, they  Gmade my day  Dalive.
 DPeople stopping by, as  Gthe songs began to  Afly.
 DSongs that made them stay so  Gstrong they couldn't go  Aaway.
 DTheir eyes would fall in  Atears, their  Bmskin without that  Gfear.

 DThey made my feelings  Acry, they  Bmtouch my heart  Ginside.
