Do you still remember back when days were longer, dreams were bigger then
The weight of the world had not yet landed on the shoulders of a man
(I THOUGHT) I thought that time stood still, sheltered, protected
They never told me this would end or that the leaves would fall again
So take me back, back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away
There was the day when this world went to war and didn't bat an eye
Feel life in the movies felt the same to me and I never questioned why
(I KNOW) I know the difference now, between fact and fiction
But I've come to find that I've grown bitter in just 24 short years
So take me back, back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
So take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Wasting me away, Waste away
So now we're running, we're running blind into the light
And we fall behind
We're running and wasting away the time
So take me back, back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, yeah back to better days
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Take me back, when we were not afraid
Cause this time between is wasting me away
Yeah take me back, just take me back, yeah take me back
(Take me back)
Yeah take me back, just take me back, yeah take me back

version 3
(solo)
Tuning: Standard
Note: Where's + after the number, use pinch harmonic on the specified fret,
but do not mute the fundamental. You can achieve this by hang out a bit your
thumb over the pick, and hit the note. Touch it with both the pick and your
thumb. It doesn't matter where you do this, you'll get a way louder harmonic
on the fundamental.
