Verse 1
 
Dmaj7 
We, 
        Dmaj7 D       G 
We were always on the run 
          Dmaj7 
From that old witch up the street 
Dmag7 D                G 
In the days when I was young 
Dmaj7 
Ride, 
         Dmaj7 D       G 
Ride our bikes on into town 
         Dmaj7                     Dmaj7 D        G 
For some hockey cards and whatever trouble may be found 
 
Chorus
 
A           G 
I can never bring them back 
          D             G              A            G A 
But those days remain inside, the very heart of me 
A               G 
My memories are white and black 
        D 
But the song's the same 
   G               A           G A 
It plays, in every part of me 
 
Verse 2
 
Dmaj7 
Down, 
         Dmaj7 D     G 
Down was only a direction 
    Dmaj7 
And sad, 
        Dmaj7 D  G 
Sad was only on TV 
    Dmaj7               Dmaj7 D  G 
And I, I had faith, and I had protection 
G 
Whoa o 
 
Chorus
 
A           G 
I can never bring them back 
          D             G              A            G A 
But those days remain inside, the very heart of me 
                G 
My memories are white and black 
        D       
But the song's the same 
   G               A           G A 
It plays, in every part of me 
 
Bridge
 
  A           D 
I still, look back 
    A 
The summer sun shining 
  D                           A 
A light was always shining on me 
      D              A 
I was gone, with the feel of her lips 
      D 
On my very first kiss 
       A         D             A 
And it seems, so long, since I left it all behind 
G                              G 
In the back of my mind, in the back of my mind 
 
Verse 3
 
Dmaj7                Dmag7 D G 
Choking on cigarettes in the park 
Dmaj7              Dmag7 D    G 
Chasing my old dog around the yard 
Dmaj7                    Dmag7 D G 
Hanging out on the street, until dark 
              G 
And then it's time to go home 
 
Chorus
 
A           G 
I can never bring them back 
          D             G              A            G A 
But those days remain inside, the very heart of me 
                G 
My memories are white and black 
        D       
But the song's the same 
   G               A           G A 
It plays, in every part of me 
                G 
Snow was always falling down 
        D               G              A            G A 
And the sound remains inside, the very heart of me 
                 G 
My mother waving from the porch 
        D                 G               A           G A 
And the sight of it still plays, in every part of me

  A           D 
I still, look back 
    A 
The summer sun shining 
  D                           A 
A light was always shining on me 
      D              A 
I was gone, with the feel of her lips 
      D 
On my very first kiss 
       A         D             A 
And it seems, so long, since I left it all behind 
G                       
In the back of my mind, 
      A           D 
But I still, look back 
    A 
The summer sun shining 
  D                           A 
A light was always shining on me 
      D              A 
I was gone, with the feel of her lips 
      D 
On my very first kiss 
       A         D             A 
And it seems, so long, since I left it all behind 
G                              G                G            Dmag7 
In the back of my mind, in the back of my mind
