VERSE 1:

C              Bb                 C                Bb         
Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been,
C         Bb                   C               Bb 
Pictures, places, girls I've loved I try to remember when,
C            Bb                  C                Bb 
Faded memories on the wall, some names I have forgotten,
C             Bb                  C             Bb 
But each one is a memory I look back on so often,

CHORUS:

F                 C          F               C
I looked into the past and I want to make it last
Bb           C
I was there, I was there

VERSE 2:

C            Bb                  C                Bb
Looking back what I have done there's lots more life to live
C         Bb              C                 Bb
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed I question what I can give
C              Bb                    C              Bb
But I don't let it get me down or cause me too much sorrow
C          Bb               C                  Bb
There's no doubt about who I am, I always have tomorrow

Faded memories on the wall  (On that wall)

Looking now at who I am  (Who am I ?)

C              Bb                    C              Bb
But I don't let it get me down or cause me too much sorrow
C          Bb               C                  Bb
