[Verse 1]
A# F#mi
As a little boy, seemed so clear to me
D# Bmi
that my days would last forever.

A# F#mi
How it came to be was hidden from me
D# Bmi
though it couldn’t get much better.

A# F#mi
Then appeared to me the cutest woman I’d seen
D# Bmi
and I just had to love her.
D# G#
A# F#mi
She would marry me, and fulfill our destiny.
D# Bmi
Things just couldn’t get much better.
D# G# A# A#
That went by faster than a picket fence.

Sometimes you see the end, but you’re not afraid at all.

Sometimes you just feel right now’s forever.
[Verse 2]
A# F#mi D# Bmi
Not so long ago, I gave up on anything to save me.
D# G#
A# F#mi
As my words go by, do you say to yourself,
D# Bmi
that you’ll never quite believe me
D# G# A# F
It goes by faster than a picket fence.
