[ verse ]
B5 A5 E B5
every night i dream the same dream
B5 A5 E B5
of getting older and older all the time
B5 A5 E B5
i ask you now , what does this mean?
B5 A5 E B5
are these problems just in my mind?
B5 A5 E B5
things are easy when you’re a child
B5 A5 E B5
but now these pressures have dropped on my head
B5 A5 E B5
the length i’ve gone are just long miles
B5 A5 E B5
would they be shorter if i were dead?

[ chorus ]
C5 D5 B5
every time i look in my past
C5 D5 B5
i always wish i was there
C5 D5 B5
i wish my youth would forever last
C5 D5 B5
why are these times so unfair?

[ verse ]
B5 A5 E B5
look at my friends and see what they’ve done
B5 A5 E B5
ask myself why they’ve had to change
B5 A5 E B5
i like them better when they were young
B5 A5 E B5
now all these times are rearranged
B5 A5 E B5
i look down and stand there and cry
B5 A5 E B5
nothing ever will be the same
B5 A5 E B5
the sun is rising , now i ask why?
B5 A5 E B5
the clouds now fall and here comes the rain

[ chorus ]
C5 D5 B5
every time i look in my past
C5 D5 B5
i always wish i was there
C5 D5 B5
i wish my youth would forever last
C5 D5 B5
why are these times so unfair?
