[Verse 1]
C                  F                    G
We didn't have the time to think things over
C               F                G
We had a lot of fun, we had some tears
Am              Em                  F
Stepping out of loneliness, now the road don't seem so long
      G         C
After all these years

[Verse 2]
C                 F         G
Rock and roll has got a reputation
C        F              G
Bad boys cause a lot of fear
Am          Em              F
But I never meant to really hurt you, oh no, no
      G         C
After all these years

[Chorus]
A#                       F
Traveling the world in a rock and roll band
     C
It's in my blood, it's in my blood
A#                      F               C
Ooh, but you know, it's good to be back home
A#                            F
Dancing with your sister on a Saturday night
     C
It's understood, it's understood
     D
When every boy and girl
G                             C
Ooh, was rocking all over the world

[Solo]
C  F  G
C  F  G
Am Em F
      G         C
After all these years


[Chorus]
A#                       F
Traveling the world in a rock and roll band
     C
It's in my blood, it's in my blood
A#                      F               C
Ooh, but you know, it's good to be back home
A#                            F
Dancing with your sister on a Saturday night
     C
It's understood, it's understood
     D
When every boy and girl
G                             C
Ooh, was rocking all over the world

[Verse 3]
C                  F                    G
We didn't have the time to think things over
C               F                G
We had a lot of fun, we had some tears
Am              Em                  F
Stepping out of loneliness, now the road don't seem so long, long, long, long, long
      G         C        F
After all these years
      G         C        F
After all these years
      G         C      Am   F
After all these years
      G         C
After all these years
