Bb
When the sky was gold
Ab
And I needed no protection
Bb
But as the wind would blow
Ab
A thousand miles in no direction
Bb
Man, it was a beautiful sight
Ab
Days were soaked in sunlight
Bb
Just so long ago
Ab
But lately I like to imagine
Gm
When I was young
Gm Fm
Whatever happened it would do me no wrong
Gm Fm
As long as I could sing my favorite song
Gm
When I was young, oh
Gm Fm
And the holidays went on and on
Gm
We were so high
Gm Fm
Let the freeway take us into the night
Gm Fm
And in the dark you sang my favorite song
Gm Fm
When I was young, oh
Gm Fm
And the holidays went on and on
N.C.

Bb
Now the sky is gray
Ab
But honestly, it doesn't hurt me (No)
Bb
I learned to find my way
Ab
On the path and no returnin', oh, oh
Bb
Everything I've left behind
Ab
I'm reminded every time I meet your eyes
Bb
We were so bold and brave
Ab
Baby, can you imagine?
