After all this time (video)

C - G - F - C (2x)

1. There were trains and we out-run `em,

Am

there were songs and we out-sung `em,

F G C

there were brighter days never ending.

C

2. There was time and we were burnin',

Am

there were rhymes and we were learnin',

F G C

there was all the love two hearts could hold.

F Em

And after all this time you're always on my mind,

F Dm

hey, I could never let it end `cause my heart takes so long to mend

G G7

the dream that keeps your hopes alive the lonely nights you hold inside.

F G C

And after all this time you're always on my mind, I still want you.

3. There was rain that we outlasted,

Am

there was pain but we got past it,

F G C

there were last goodbyes still left unspoken.

C

4. There were ways I should have thrilled you,

Am

there were days when I could have killed you,

F G C

you’re the only love my life has known.

F Em

And after all this time you’re always on my mind.

F Dm

Hey, I could never let you go, a broken heart that heals so slow

G G7

Could never beat for someone new while you're alive and I am, too.

F G C

And after all this time you're always on my mind, I still miss you
