[Verse 1]
E A E
I once loved a boy so smart and true
E A E
We would walk home every day from the school
A E
He'd say, I think we could walk forever, Oh no
A E
How ’bout just a little while, O.K.
A E
He would make me laugh like the devil, Haha
A B
He would pick me up like the child that I was
[Verse 2]
E A E
In my time I'd like to stay young forever
E A E
Like a tide, the crest beneath sunny weather
A E
May we fill these lungs with laughter (haha)
A E
And may we shake these bones with style (watch me now)
A E
And may we claim all that we're after (everything)
A E
And may we do it wearing a smile
B A E A E
And may the breath we breathe be free
B A E A E
And for you to remain a part of me
Three, four

[Verse 3]
E A E
I have loved many faces, many places
E A E
All aboard my train but depart at different stations
A E
And some of them look the same
A E
But none of them smell the same
A E
And some of them will never change
A E
While some of them are growing strange
A E
And some of them are center stage
A E
While some of them go and turn my page
A E
And summer rain growing pain
A E
And some are diseased with rage
A E
Oh, but all of them are aboard my train
A E
But all of them are a friend of mine
B A E A E
And oh, my darling, can't you see
B A E A E
Oh that babe, oh and you are a part of me
