This used to be my playground
/4
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
/4
Whenever I was in need of a friend
Why did it have to end and why do they always say
+ /4
"Don't look back, keep your head held high"?
+ /4
Don't ask them why, because life is short
And before you know you're feeling old
+ /4
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past, well, that's too much to ask
This used to be my playground
/4
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
/4
Whenever I was in need of a friend
/ /4 + /4
Why did it have to end and why do they always say "no regrets"?
But I wish that you were here with me
+ /4
Well, then there's hope yet
I can see your face in our secret place
+ /4
You're not just a memory
"Say good-bye to yesterday "
Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say)
This used to be my playground (where I used to be)
/4
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy
This used to be our playground (used to be)
/4
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
This used to be our playground (used to be)
/4
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me
