 Whenever  I get to feel  this way,
 Try  to find new words  to say,
 I think  about the bad  old days
 We used to know.
 Nights of winter turn me cold --
 Fears of dying, getting old.
 We ran the race and the race was won
 By running slowly.
 Could be soon well cease to sound,
 Slowly upstairs, faster down.
 Then to revisit stony grounds,
 We used to know.
 Remembering mornings, shillings spent,
 Made no sense to leave the bed.
 The bad old days they came and went
 Giving way to fruitful years.
 Saving up the birds in hand
 While in the bush the others land.
 Take what we can before the man
 Says its time to go.
 Each to his own way Ill go mine.
 Best of luck in what you find.
 But for your own sake remember times
 We used to know.
 Rate this please! Paul k

W[Em]henever I get to f[B]eel this way,
T[D]ry to find new w[A]ords to say,
I [C]think about the b[G]ad old days    [F#]
We used to [B]know.

Nights of winter turn me cold --
Fears of dying, getting old.
We ran the race and the race was won
By running slowly.

Could be soon well cease to sound,
Slowly upstairs, faster down.
Then to revisit stony grounds,
We used to know.

Remembering mornings, shillings spent,
Made no sense to leave the bed.
The bad old days they came and went
Giving way to fruitful years.

Saving up the birds in hand
While in the bush the others land.
Take what we can before the man
Says its time to go.

Each to his own way Ill go mine.
Best of luck in what you find.
But for your own sake remember times
We used to know.
