Back in My Day
From the album Unseen

[INTRO]
Em C G D

[VERSE 1]
C
We had maps that unfolded
Cm
back in my day
G
You could drink from the river
Em
We had gods made of clay
C
There were mile-high glaciers,
Cm
no locks on the doors
G
The stars burned brighter
D
We never counted past four
C
And the birds were always watching
Cm
There were monsters in the sea
G
We wore watches on our wrists
D
There were ghosts in the trees

[CHORUS]

Em
Way back in the days,
C
you're too young to have seen,
G
When the nights were darker,
D
longer and deep

[INTERLUDE]

Am Em G D

[VERSE 2]

C
There was no time or space
Cm
when I was growing up
G
We had summer all winter
Em
The moon rose with the sun
C
And music sounded better
Cm
Recorded on rings of ice
G
And as the songs turned to water
D
we couldn't help but cry

[CHORUS]

Em
Way back in the good days,
C
the ones you didn't see,
G
When everything was better,
D
darker and deep

[OUTRO]

Am Em G D

C Cm G D
