[Verse 2]
[G]It's going up, it's [Ab]going [G]down
I remember back in my hometown
When I was just a little boy
Dancing endless, [Ddim]oh, midsumm[G]er
[Bb]And a [Cm]weekend with friends
seemed like a lifetime of [Fm]freedom
An[G]d six w[Cm]eeks of vacation
felt like eternal blis[G]s
[Cm]Each sun ray,
each move looked like an ant
Saw your [Fm]season an[G]d no t[Cm]ouch
as intense as that very first kiss
[G]But as [Cm]time went by,
I started to [Fm]stitch and to bend
As I [Bb]watched my childhood
slowly [Eb]come to an end
And I [Ab]woke up each day
a little [D]less confident
That it [G]all will work [Abdim]out in the end[G]
It's going up, it's [Abdim]going dow[G]n
I've grown [Abdim]up, left my hometow[G]n
Seen all the good things [Ab]come my [G]way
Of brightening nights and [Ab]season [G]days
But the [Cm]days turn to weeks,
turn to months, turn to [Fm]years
[G]They turn [Cm]you, they turn me,
they turn us into what?
[G]Apa[Cm]thetic, lethargic,
indifferent [Fm]people
[G]Who don't [Cm]care about a thing
and who don't give a [G]fuck
Cos as [Cm]time goes by all we do
is we [Fm]stress and we bend
As we [Bb]watch this world
as it is [Eb]tumbling to an end
And [G]we [Ab]wake up each day
to the [D]sound of our mothers
This Ro[G]mance![Abdim][G][Abdim]
[G][Abdim][G][Abdim][G][Abdim]
[G]Stop reminiscing about your [Abdim]past
En[G]joy this world and make it last
[Abdim]Cause som[G]etime soon,
not far [Abdim]ahead
[G]There'll come a moment when your [Cm]years
feel like months, feel like weeks,
feel like [G]days, feel like [Cm]hours,
feel like minutes,
feel like seconds, feel like stop.
It will feel like you are only moments away
[G]from an [Cm]inevitable and eternal
[G]drop.[Cm]
[G][Cm]
[G]It will [Cm]feel like you are
only moments away
from an end of trouble and each
other's [G]joy.[Cm][G][Cm]
You
