[Verse 1]
 D                                F#m
Take me back to times when I was young
         Bm          Em
So much fun that we had
 D
Girls I knew back then were so alive
             F#m         Bm               Em
And in their eyes was a light to comfort me

[Verse 2]
 D                              F#m
Take me back to giant darkened rooms
             Bm                Em
Filled with sound, no-one was sad
D
Everyone was there to hear the band
           F#m           Bm             Em
play real loud, blowin' minds, take me back

 D                                F#m
Take me back to times when I was young
         Bm          Em
So much fun that we had
 D
Girls I knew back then have gone astray
         F#m           Bm              Em
And the light in their eyes has gone away
