Tom: C

INTRO:
C  G  Am  C  F  G  C  G

VERSE:
C       G           Am  C7
 Time moves like a river
F         G              C   G
 You can either sink or swim
C                G            Am      C7
 And a wise man learns to forgive her
F     G                 C  C7
 For all she's done to him
    F                 C
But no one's getting younger
       F          G       C
And a few aren't getting old
     Am               Em
It's all in what you feel
     D                  G
And not in what you're told


CHORUS:
        Am               Em
Oh you can't go back to Kansas
        F         G     C
I was there just yesterday
        Am               Em
Oh you can't go back to Kansas
        D             G
It just up and blew away
        F             C
Oh, but I will go on loving you
      F  G        C
It's easier that way
         Am               Em
But you can't go back to Kansas
        F        G     C
'Cause that was yesterday


INSTRUMENTAL:
G  Am  C  F  G  C  G


VERSE:
C           G            Am   C7
 I see the sun rise and fall
F                 G               C   G
 And I feel the earth 'neath my shoes
C            G            Am     C
 Still I'm stuck in my believing
F                G                  C   C7
 That some were born and cursed to lose
 F               C                  F        G      C
Nothing's gonna happen here that's all I've got to say
      Am            Em              D                G
It's nothing to be down about it's always been that way


CHORUS:
      Am               Em
Oh I can't go back to Kansas
        F         G     C
I was there just yesterday
      Am               Em
Oh I can't go back to Kansas
        D             G
It just up and blew away
        F             C
Oh, but I will go on loving you
      F  G        C
It's easier that way
         Am               Em
But you can't go back to Kansas
        F        G     Am  Em  F G C
'Cause that was yesterday


INSTRUMENTAL:
Am Em D G F C  F G C  Am Em  F G C


CHORUS:
        Am               Em
Oh you can't go back to Kansas
        F         G     C
I was there just yesterday
        Am               Em
Oh you can't go back to Kansas
        D             G
It just up and blew away
        F             C
Oh, but I will go on loving you
      F  G        C
It's easier that way
         Am               Em
But you can't go back to Kansas
        F        G     C  G  Am  F  G  C
'Cause that was yesterday
