Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

There is two ways to play this song.I think I saw one version played by Jason Reeves
capo on 5th freth. I tabed it out with capo on 3rd. Cause I think it sounds better. Ok the
reason is that I saw the version when I tabed out half of the song. I was to lazy to do
versions. If you are interested in getting the version Jason plays. Mail me. I have
on my computer halfdone.

Intro: Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Bm7 Gmaj7

Dsus2 Dsus2/C#
Love is easier when we are young
Bm7
It's easier letting it go
Gadd9 Dsus2
It's easier hurting than being alone

If only I could've believed that time wouldn't take you from me

Sneaking out the back door, Meeting by the trees
Bm7
Taking our clothes off, Jumping in the creek
Gadd9
That's when life was good
Dsus2
I remember holding up the phone line talking 'bout nothing
Dsus2/C#
Drifting off to dream, Waking up knowing
Bm7 Gadd9
We were young and still in love
And that's when life was good

Dsus2 Dsus2/C# Bm7
I'm realizing over the years that catching and counting my tears
Gadd9 Dsus2
And if I'm patient they will disappear
Dsus2/C#
I'm ready to try it again
Bm7
The fire of when it begins
Gadd9 A
The fight for a feeling that never ends
Gadd9
It goes on and on again
