There Was A Time

G
There was a time

     D
Everything was fine

          Bm
You got drunk all the day

     C          C  Em   Am
Like it was fine

Am          D
And all the children

         G                C    C  Em  Am
They put flowers in their hair

Am          D
And all the grown ups

         G                Em
They put daggers there instead

There was a time when I thought I would make it 
D               Em          G              A
And there was a time when I thought that I knew 
G         A              D                G
But now I find that that same old used-to-be 
G                 A             D
Is gone and there ain't no easy road 

D           Em        G             A
There was a time long ago, do you remember? 
D          Em           G            A
We used to have so much fun, so much fun 
G         A         D                       G
But now I find that those good ol' days are gone 
G           A             D
Oh no there ain't no easy way 

A                           Em           A
Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life 
A            Em          A
They're only faded memories 

D           Em          G               A
There was a time when I thought I could change things 
D           Em          G               A
There was a time when I thought I could do 
G             A            D         G
But youth was just another day in my life 
G           A             D
Oh no there ain't no easy road

A                           Em           A

They're only faded memories

(intro) D G/D Bm G Bm A G D G/D

D                     Bm
When you find you can somehow
G                    D
Make it like all the rest
Bm                                            A
You won't need to scrounge around for someone else
     G           D
Torn between the unknown
        G              D
And the place you call home
        F#m                          A
And the life you want but have never known

            D
There was a time
          G/D                Bm
You could put it out of your mind
    G            Bm
And leave it all behind
            A
There was a time
                 G      D G/D
And that time is gone

What has life for 50 years
In this town done for you
Except to earn your name and place on a barstool
You spend your whole life in this county
You've never been out of state
You say you're going to make it out before it's too late

There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone

            D                 D/G                 Bm
There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense
           G           Bm
Now that's turned more intense
                                A
And all the grudges you've kept around
        G       D     G/D
Now are nowhere to be found

(Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret,
then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord)

Remember when you didn't have
To look ahead or behind you
There was always something right there to do
But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap
Looking for a way out
We keep moving on that's what it's all about

There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
