Intro

Verse 1
It's the sad eyed goodbye yesterday's moments I'll remember
It's the bleak street weak kneed partings I recall
It's the mistier mist, the hazier days
The brighter sun, and the easier lays
There's all the more reason for laughing and crying
When you're younger and life isn't too hard at all.
| D | % | A | % | x2
Verse 2
It's the fantastic drowse of the afternoon Sundays that bored you to rages of tears
The unending pleadings to waste all your good times on thoughts of your middle aged years
It's the vertical hold of the things that you're told
For the everyday hero, it all turns to zero
And there's all the more reason for living or dying
When you're young and your troubles are all very small

Break
Out here on the streets we'd gather and meet
And scuff up the sidewalks with endlessly restless feet
Half of the time we'd broaden our minds more in the pool halls
Than we did in the school halls.
With the downtown chewing gum bums
Watching the nightlife, the lights and the fun.
| D | % | A | % | x2
Verse 3
I never wanted to be the boy next door, always thought I'd be something more
It ain't easy for a smalltown boy, it ain't easy at all
Thinking it right, doing it wrong, it's easier from an armchair
Waves of alternatives wash over my sleepiness
Have my eggs poached for breakfast I guess.
(repeat and fade)
