Verse :
B5A5EB5
Every night I dream the same dream
B5A5EB5
Of getting older and older all the time
B5A5EB5
I ask you now, what does this mean?
B5A5EB5
Are these problems just in my mind?
B5A5EB5
Things are easy when you're a child
B5A5EB5
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
B5A5EB5
The length I've gone are just long miles
B5A5EB5
Would they be shorter if I were dead?
Chorus :
C5D5B5
Every time I look in my past
C5D5B5
I always wish I was there
C5D5B5
I wish my youth would forever last
C5D5B5
Why are these times so unfair?
Verse :
B5A5EB5
Look at my friends and see what they've done
B5A5EB5
Ask myself why they've had to change
B5A5EB5
I like them better when they were young
B5A5EB5
Now all these times are rearranged
B5A5EB5
I look down and stand there and cry
B5A5EB5
Nothing ever will be the same
B5A5EB5
The sun is rising, now I ask why?
B5A5EB5
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain
Chorus :
C5D5B5
Every time I look in my past
C5D5B5
I always wish I was there
C5D5B5
I wish my youth would forever last
C5D5B5
Why are these times so unfair?
