[Verse 1]
D# F#mi
As a little boy, seemed so clear to me
G# Bmi
that my days would last forever.
G# C#
D# F#mi
How it came to be was hidden from me
G# Bmi
though it couldn’t get much better.
G# C# D# D#
That went by faster than a picket fence.
D# F#mi
Then appeared to me the cutest woman I’d seen
G# Bmi
and I just had to love her.
G# C#
D# F#mi
She would marry me, and fulfill our destiny.
G# Bmi
Things just couldn’t get much better.
G# C# D# D#
That went by faster than a picket fence.
[Chorus]
G# A# D# G#
Sometimes you see the end, but you’re not afraid at all.
G# A# Csus C A#sus A#
Sometimes you just feel right now’s forever.
[Verse 2]
D# F#mi G# Bmi
Not so long ago, I gave up on anything to save me.
G# C#
D# F#mi
As my words go by, do you say to yourself,
G# Bmi
that you’ll never quite believe me
G# C# D# A#
It goes by faster than a picket fence.
