G              D
Adrift and in a dream
            Am7         C
Like fallen leaves in a flowing river
  G            D              Am7  C
A life of harmony for you and me
     G         D
When unexpectedly
        Am7               C
Someone said that nothing lasts forever
   G             D             Am7  C
It all became so very clear to me


[Chorus]
     C                Am7
With each new passing day
           D                 G  D/F#
I see that old world fading away
  C                  Am7               D
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
                        G
That I knew back in the day


[Verse 2]
    G               D
The light has gone away
            Am7           C
And I can't see it coming back tomorrow
   G             D              Am7  C
I stumble in the dark to find a way
  G             D
I tried to reconcile
           Am7          C
The living now with the dying hour
  G                D             Am7  C
I know I can't get back to yesterday


[Chorus]
     C                Am7
With each new passing day
           D                 G  D/F#
I see that old world fading away
  C                  Am7               D
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
                        G  D/F#
That I knew back in the day
    C             Am7
I'm downbeat in a daze
        D                          G    D/F#
A sad malaise has taken hold in my heart
    C               Am7               D
And I can't seem to find the peace of mind
                        G
That I knew back in the day


[Instrumental]
G  F  C

[Chorus]
     C                Am7
With each new passing day
           D                 G  D/F#
I see that old world fading away
  C                  Am7               D
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
                        G  D/F#
That I knew back in the day
    C             Am7
I'm downbeat in a daze
        D                          G    D/F#
A sad malaise has taken hold in my heart
    C               Am7               D
And I can't seem to find the peace of mind
                        G                D/F#
That I knew back in the day (That I knew back in the day)
     C                Am7
With each new passing day
           D                 G                D/F#
I see that old world fading away (That I knew back in the day)
  C                  Am7               D
I just can't seem to find the peace of mind
                        G                D/F#
That I knew back in the day (That I knew back in the day)
    C             Am7
I'm downbeat in a daze
        D                          G                  D/F#
A sad malaise has taken hold in my heart (That I knew back in the day)
    C               Am7               D
And I can't seem to find the peace of mind
                        G                D/F#
That I knew back in the day (That I knew back in the day)
(repeat and fade)
