CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
G F#m E
[Verse 1]
A Bm
Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment
D A
Lipstick ladies in their head
F#m
Magazine styles romantic visions
D A E
Starting their lives advertisement fed
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E F#m E D A
And they're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life
Bm D F#m
Thinking about the easy years to come
F#m E F#m E D A
Looking forward that's the only way that they've been taught
Bm C#m F#m
One day the world will be their own
[Chorus]
E A
And the wheel turns around
Bm A
In the twinkling of an eye
D F#m D
And they find their hopes just castles in the sand
[Bridge]
A F#m
Older faces in the mirror now
D A
Chasing ghosts of yesterday
F#m
Once they were foolish, once they didn't care
D A E
Now their eyes fill with memories
[Pre Chorus]
F#m E F#m E D A
They're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life
F#m A C#m E F#m
They sure knew good times when they were young
F#m E F#m E D A
But somehow, sometimes, it's not easy to recall
Bm F#m C#m F#m
All the good things they have done
[Chorus]
G F#m
As their time slips away
Bm A
Only memories live on
G F#m E
Ever changing with the passing of the years
[Bridge]
G D F#m
How could life be so hard
Bm A
Fading wishes left to rust
G F#m C#m E
Till they find the stardust sprinkled in their eyes
