[Verse 1]
Am                      F
Now a days they seem so bleak
Am                             Em
Thekid wants a new career each week
F                                            C
what happened to the way we used to think we knew everything
      Dm
Is it gone?


[Verse 2]
Am                            F
A wise man told me this could happen
Am                         Em
Now he's doing time in the earth
F                                  C
He used to tell me not to worry man I didn't worry
        Dm       G
I worry now



[Chorus]
            C           Dm             Em                F
Let's go on back to the place where we loved beyond the face
           C              G                   F
Pig shaved heads, run down sheds and screamin Ma
C                     Dm      Em                F
If it's there I gotta go no matter how deep the snow
           C                           G                 F
I wanna go back to when we fought like boys and not like men
C               G              F
Back to shootin marbles in the sand


[VERSE 3]
Am                     F
I lost my thing at just 13
Am                    Em
became a man or so it seemed
F                                              C
Lord I think I knew more back then than what I do know now
               Dm
What do I know now?

[Verse 4]
Am                             F
Things ain't the same on Wigle St
Am                     Em
Sammy and I we seem to agree
F                                        C
Since the lady died we're stuck with our hands underneath our seats
                    Dm              G
Christmas ain't the same anymore

[CHORUS 2]
         C           Dm
Shoot on back to the art
          Em                     F
Of lousy ice rinks and cheap guitars
      C              G                   F
When ice cream never melted and coke was pop
       C                  Dm          Em            F
To the fairs we used to create or the food we never ate
          C               G                     F        G
Here's to grabtime and to nabtime to you and to me


[CHORUS 3]
         D           Em
Let's go back to the place
         D                G
Where we loved beyond the face
              D                   A                  G
THe pigshaved heads the run downs sheds and screamin Ma
              D                        Em
I don't wanna stop this don't wanna be free
             D                G
I gotta keep tabs on my memories
                 D               A             G
Because it's the only thing that matters after all
               D               A             G
Cause it's the only thing that matters after all

                 D               A             G
Because it's the only thing that matters after all
               D               A             G         D
Cause it's the only thing that matters after all
