Intro)
4x
G  C
(Verse)
               G    C           G       C
Well I see the souls of so many friends,
G              C             G
  And I see us all back here again.
C            G          D       G
  With sandy floors and ceiling fans,
C               D                 G
  A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
             C                   G
That fill my memories like a tip jar.
C                     G   C                G   C
  Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
(Verse)
G       C                     G    C
  I see tourists at Christmas time,
G             C                    G
  And I taste beers with a hint of lime.
C        G                 D       G  
  I feel lonely cause it's not the same,
C                     D
  Different faces and different names,
G                   C             G
Living like pirates out among the stars.
C                     G   C                G
  Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
(Chorus)
D                         G 
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em                     D                         C 
  But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
(Verse)
            G  C                G
And I see a kid coming into his own
C       G  C                 G
  And a man learning to move on.
C         G         D        G 
  Somehow trying to find his way,
C                     D
  A dreamer betting on blind faith
G                    C             G
Chasing that sun and following his heart.
C                     G   C                G
  Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
(Instrumental)
C  G  D  G, C  D  G
(Chorus)
D                         G 
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em                     D                         C 
  But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
(Verse)
G            C                G     C
  A few have moved on back to Maine,
G             C           G     
  Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.
C          G     D          G
  Some are still living the dream,
C                D
  Stuck in still life it seems.
   G                         C              G
No matter where they've been, or where they are,
C                 G    C                G
  Yeah, I see 'em here, when I see this bar.
C                 G   C, G  C,
  when I see this bar.
(Verse-out)
G                   C
  I wonder where we go from here
G                C                   G
  (That's what I see when I see this bar)
                         C
Life ain't over but it's always near
G                C                   G
  (That's what I see when I see this bar)
                      C                  G
I think about all the good times that we had
               C                   G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
                         C
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
G                C                   G
  (That's what I see when I see this bar)
                   C                  G 
How could we be so close, now so far apart
               C                   G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
              C    G              C                    G
That's what I feel, that's what I see (when I see this bar)
                         C                   G
Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
              C                   G   C, G  C, G  C, G  C,
That's what I see when I see this bar
G               C                   G  C, G  C, G  C, G  C, G  C  (fade)
  That's what I see when I see this bar
