1. When I was only seventeen,

            Am                      G

     my head was full of brilliant dreams,

             F                          Am                   Dm   - G 

    my heart would call and I would gladly go.

             C                   Em

    At twenty-one the world was mine

         Am                          G

    and I was yours and you're divine,

             F                             Am            Dm   - G

    and nothing else would matter to us so.

 

        E                     Am            E                    Am

+  I don't believe in destiny, I don't believe in love,

         E                      Am                  F             G

    I don't believe that anything will ever be enough.

 

          C   

Oh, man, you should have seen us,

Em                             Am                             G

on the way to Venus walking on the Milkyway,

                         F             C             Dm    - G

it was quite a day, hey, hey ! Hey, hey !

    C                                Em

Walking on the big stuff, acting like we're real tough,

 Am                               G                               F                C             Dm - G    

baby, we were on our way. So what do you say ? Hey, hey ! Hey, hey !

 

          C                     G

2. As time goes by reality

           Am                          Em

    destroys your hope and dignity,

                  F                       Am                  Dm    - G

    there's nothing left but shadows on the wall.

           C                      Em    

    But just remember who you are,

              Am                                     G

    and where you've been, you've come so far,

              F             Am                      Dm    - G 

    and never ever let them see you fall.

 

        E                      Am             E                     Am

+  I don't believe in miracles, I don't believe in truth,

         E                      Am                  F                     G

    I don't believe that anything can recreate your youth.
