[Verse 1]
A
Almost out of adolescence
D A
And into a world we didn't know
Not necessary love
D A E
But in trouble with a fire down below
A
Looking back for a feelin'
D A
It's just something far away and long ago
D A E
I can still recall the name
A
But she's really someone i don't even know
[Chorus]
A D
But she was right for the time
A D A E
She was right for the time
A
But time has a way of moving on
[Verse 2]
A
I do recall a gypsy lady
D A
And a younger man in over his head
I was her believer
D A E
Taken in by every loving word she said
A
It was there for the first time
D A
The sweet and the bitter taste of love
D A E
When you're young and alive
A
Too much never seems to be enough
[Verse] (a tone higher)
B
It seems the young and the innocent
E B
Are drawn like a moth to a flame
To the wild and the reckless
E B F#
Believing they are one in the same
B
She never found a way
E B
To separate the good from the bad
E B F#
And she never understood
B
That love was all we ever really had
[Verse]
B E
She was right for the time
B
But time has a way of moving on
F#
With her eyes on tomorrow
B
One day she turned around and i was gone
E
I'd have to say in a way
B
She just might be better off alone
E B F#
She was right for the time
B
But time has a way of moving on
