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

How it came to be was hidden from me
C# Bmi
though it couldn’t get much better.

Then appeared to me the cutest woman I’d seen
C# Bmi
and I just had to love her.

She would marry me, and fulfill our destiny.
C# Bmi
Things just couldn’t get much better.

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

Not so long ago, I gave up on anything to save me.

It goes by faster than a picket fence.
