            1                     2-

There was a time when we'd be the last to leave

             5                          1

Watching the sun come up while everyone fell asleep

              1                             2-

The music was always loud and I'd smoke and drink too much

               5                          1

Until I'd fall in your arms and into your lovin' touch

           4              5        1

Now as the years roll by, time has reeled me in

                   5                                     1

I've slowed down a notch or two from the way things were then

                          4          2-          5

        Those old ways of mine, I've left them behind

                    4        1

        Those crazy days are through

                               4       2-        5

        The only thing I still do like I used to do

                      4             1

        Is carry this torch for you

             1                       2-

Remember the days when we'd pack our bags and run

          5                          1

Chasing a crazy dream into the morning sun

           1                          2-

Now as the twilight falls, I find I'm satisfied

             5                           1

Watching the fire glow as long as you're by my side

           4               5        1

Here in my heart it seems, time has passed me by

              5                            1

I love you as much today as the very first time

                          4          2-          5

        Those old ways of mine, I've left them behind

                    4        1

        Those crazy days are through

                               4       2-        5

        The only thing I still do like I used to do

                      4             1

        Is carry this torch for you

               4                                     1

               I still want you the way I wanted you then

                          5                                   1

               If I could do it all over, I'd do it all over again
