When I was younger

A part-time job worker

Department store centre

I saw a man enter
E
C

A
He was middle-aged
E
C
G
A
Deep lines on his face
E
C
G
A
Tight mouth and eyes glazed
E
C
G
A
Eyelids just half-raised
E
G
A
And I looked at him, he looked at me
E
G
A
He looked so sad, I had to see
E
G
A
What did he want, what could it be
E
G
A
What had he been through before me
D

Seeing him in the store, I worked for

Ice skates he asked for
E

In the middle of summer
E
C
G

He wanted a good pair
E
C

A
The price he did not care
E
C
G
A
I looked for his size
E
C
G
A
Our best pair he tried
E
C
G
A
Custom back and sides
E
C
G
A
Excitement in his eyes
E
G
A
And I looked at him, he looked at me
E

He looked so sad, I had to see

verse 3
E

I asked are you a pro
E
C
G
A
He looked sad and said no
E
C
G
A
These skates are my last hope
E
C
G
A
Without them I cannot cope
E
G
A
And he said my wife, she drowned this summer
E
G
A
Behind our house, the river took her
E
G
A
I cannot swim, I need to find her
E
G
A
I will wait, till it freezes over
D
C
And then I will skate, as far as it takes
D
C
I will skate, as far as it takes
E

To bring her back home
E
C

To bring her back home
E

To bring her back home
E
Back home
