When I was a baby

When I was five, it was good to be alive.
    Bb  F     Bb      F       Bb
But now I'm a man I wish that I were dead.
D      Bb          F     Fadd4   F (last two quickly)
My how time rushes by.

Bb     Bb7            Eb
When I sit here at my window

My life comes back to me.
 	     Gmin	    F
It's been so long since the good days.

It's been so long.


This pattern repeats, even though the verse SOUNDS different the second
time around.
