I Blinked Once

C
Childhood often seemed a pain to me
Am  G                 C/F
So hard waiting to be grown
C
Childhood climbed up in a white oak 
tree
Am  G                     C/F
I blinked once and it was gone
C
Airplane flyin' across a midnight 
sky
Am     G                  C/F
His tiny lights blinked off and on
C                                 
I watched him move across the moon
    Am
 on high
G      Am                       C/F
Well I blinked once and it was gone

[Chorus]
G                Am
Gone, gone, yeah
G   C
I blinked once and it was gone
C
A girl I'd met was all I cared for, 
friends
Am     G                C/F
I called her my very own

C
We went down to hear the band begin
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and she was gone

[Bridge]
C-Am-G-C x2 G-Am-F-G-C

G           Am
Gone, gone, yeah
G   C/F
I blinked once and it was gone
C
I won big money on the gamblin' 
wheel
Am     G                  C/F
And I thought I was sittin' on a 
throne
C
Big John told me 'bout his condo 
deal
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and it was gone
C
The nineteen seventies was ten long 
years
Am     G                  C/F
Was ten long years to sing a song
C
It kicked off madly with a New 
Year's cheer
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and it was gone
G               Am              
That's right, it was gone, gone, 
C/F
yeah
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and it was gone
C
Now old man's talkin' 'bout a gun 
he'd shot
Am     G                         
An' he weren't much more than 
   C/F
skin and bone
C
Lyin' there breathin' on this worn 
out cot
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and he was gone
Am     G                  C/F
And he was gone, gone
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and he was gone, gone
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and he was gone, 
gone, gone
Am     G                  C/F
I blinked once and he was gone
