[Verse 1]
A       E       D
There   was a   time
A       E                       
When    we all watched the      same
D
 screen
A       E               D
Spring  steen was       mainstream
Bm                      D
Everybody had a         hungry heart
A       E       D
There   was a   time
A                       E        
Where we weren’t at     risk that
               D
 you could     make a living
A               E               
A 40 hour       week and a      2 
D
day weekend
E                       A
Could get you pretty    far.


[Chorus]
E
Was there a     time
                Bm              F#m
Or was it       only in my      mind
D                       A
When everything seemed  simpler
D                             
And we all sat down for         
  A                   Bm
dinner     every night

Bm                      D
Or am I only looking    through

There   was a   time

A              E                  
When we all    felt like           
 D
family
A               E                
I could         ride my bike down
       D
       any street
Bm                              D
And somebody always knew my     name
A       E       D
There   was a   time
A           E                    
Before the  mail palled out and 
           D
the         pails moved in
A                 E               
And we didn’t     need no         
D
medicine
E                       A
Just to take away the   pain

When everything seemed  simpler

And we all sat down for         
  A
dinner  every night

[Verse]
A       E       D
There   was a   time
A               E               
When we all     pledged         
D
allegiance
A               E               
And we  thought we knew what    we 
D
meant
Bm                            
When we stood and faced the     
  D
flag.

A       E       D
Are     we      blind
A               E               
Lost in         some nos-       
D
talgia case
A               E               
Only white men  miss the        good
D
 ol days

E                       A
That ain’t coming       back.

Or was it       only in my      mind

When everything seemed

            D              A
dinner
D                       A
And we all watched the  same screen
D                       A
But we didn’t   see the same things
D                       A
Maybe all was in a      mirror
A               D               
Was never       close as it     
A
appeared
D                   A            
Like the way    the truth can 
                       Bm
seem so black and         white
Bm                      D
After all our looking   through
                        A
