C           Bm                 Em              Am   C
Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past
            Em
Why can't I keep those feelings



[Key=E]
E                       A
Time you make me travel always
                      F#m
And wont give me back those days
                    E
That I had loved before
                     B
I'm knockin' on your door
                    A
I'm pleading on the shore



Chorus:

A
Days I'm weary
            E                B
And there's some days I feel strong
A
There's days I'm feeling maybe
E            B7
Do I still belong



Bridge [Key=Em]
[e and f# notes ringing throughout]

D7
You stole all my childhood
Bm
Then took my boyhood
D7
Now take my manhood




C           Bm                 Em              Am   C
Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past
            Em
Why can't I keep those feelings



[Key=E]
E                             A
Time, don't take me while I'm sleeping
                   F#m
Don't carry me out weeping
                     E
'cause I'm afraid to go
                     B
I'm knocking on your door
                   A
To leave me on the shore



Chorus, Bridge



[key=Em]
C           Bm                Em              Am   C
Why can't I keep those lovely feelings of the past
            Bm                Em            Am
Why can't I keep those lovely feelings in a chest



C                      Bm
The time has come when I won't weep
     Em                   Am
I've wasted time and I've wasted sleep
    C                Bm
The time will go not mine to keep
    Em                   Am
But I'll hold on 'till I reach my peak



    C          Bm        Em  Am
But where's my life gone now
C          Bm        Em  Am
Where's my time gone now
