I see tourists at Christmas time,

And I taste beers with a hint of lime.

Different faces and different names,

Living like pirates out among the stars.

[Chorus]
D G Intro lick
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em D Cadd9
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
[Verse]
G C G
And I see a kid coming into his own
C G C G
And a man learning to move on.
C G D G
Somehow trying to find his way,
C D
A dreamer betting on blind faith
G C G
Chasing that sun and following his heart.
C G C G
Yeah, that's what I see, when I see this bar.
[Instrumental]
C G D G C D G
[Chorus]
D G Intro lick
Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
Em D Cadd9
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.
[Verse]
G C G C
A few have moved on back to Maine,
G C G
Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.
C G D G
Some are still living the dream,
C D
Stuck in still life it seems.
G C G
No matter where they've been, or where they are,
C G C G
Yeah, I see 'em here, when I see this bar.
C G C G C
when I see this bar.
[Outro]
G C
I wonder where we go from here
G C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C
Life ain't over but it's always near
G C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C G
I think about all the good times that we had
C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
G C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C G
How could we be so close, now so far apart
C G
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
C G C G
That's what I feel, that's what I see (when I see this bar)
C G
Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
C G C G C G C G C
That's what I see when I see this bar
G C G C G C G C G C G C (fade)
That's what I see when I see this bar
