There Was a Time

(intro) D G/D Bm G Bm A G D G/D

D                     Bm
When you find you can somehow
G                    D
Make it like all the rest
Bm                                
You won't need to scrounge around 
            A
for someone else
     G           D
Torn between the unknown
        G              D
And the place you call home
        F#m                        
And the life you want but have 
  A
never known

            D
There was a time
          G/D                Bm
You could put it out of your mind
    G            Bm
And leave it all behind

There was a time
                 G      D G/D
And that time is gone

What has life for 50 years
In this town done for you
Except to earn your name and place 
on a barstool
You spend your whole life in this 
county
You've never been out of state
You say you're going to make it out 
before it's too late

There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone

            D                 D/G 
There was a time when nothing 
                Bm
seemed to make much sense
           G           Bm
Now that's turned more intense
And all the grudges you've kept 
A
around
        G       D     G/D
Now are nowhere to be found

(Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret 
- then hammer 5th string, second 
fret,
then play the E note, 4th string, 
second fret, then play D chord)

Remember when you didn't have
To look ahead or behind you
There was always something right 
there to do
But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I
 dunno) in some kind of trap
Looking for a way out
We keep moving on that's what it's 
all about

There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
