[Intro]
G  Em Gmaj7 Em G Em Gmaj7 Em

[Verse 1]
  G              Em
A thousand conversations
      Gmaj7        Em
 on a never ending theme
        F            Bb
Seem to linger in my mind
         Am7            D Dsus D
like the fragments of a dream
         G              Em
That was once a part of you
     Gmaj7           Em
and remains a part of me
        F               D
Its the unreal world we lived
            Am
in that was born of
 D    G   Em  Gmaj7  Em
fantasy

[Verse 2]
    G               Em
You whiled away the hours,
      Gmaj7         Em
making promises that might
          F
Have just changed the world we
  Bb             Am
 knew, if theyd only turned out
 D Dsus D
 right
        G            Em
But now I'm a little wise
      Gmaj7        Em
I can even raise a laugh
       F              D
At the funny face you pulled on
    Am    D    G     Em  Gmaj7  Em
 a faded photograph

[Chorus]
Cmaj7            Bm    B
New days replace yesterdays
     Em
 in time
    Bm      B       Em
Its well to bear in mind
     Cmaj7
That new ways erase
Bm      B         Em
Nothing stays the same
    C               Am
And now you've even changed
      F       Dsus D
your name..........

[Interlude]
G  Em  Gmaj7  Em

[Verse 3]
   G           Em
Forever I'll remember as
   Gmaj7          Em
 I pass by on the train
           F           Bb
Streets of paradise we loved
       Am            D Dsus D
Now so few of them remain
          G       Em
Guess its finally goodbye
         Gmaj7         Em
Seems we came so suddenly
       F                D
To the end of childhood days
        Am         D       G
And the way things used to be

[Outro]
Em Gmaj7 Em G
              Mmmm..
