In the Day
Thornton/Davis
Beautiful Door
INTRO: Em G D
EmG
Do you remember in the day
D
All our crazy summer ways
EmG
And those guys that were our friends
EmG
The red and yellow windy falls
D
When we seemed to have it all
EmG
And it was never gonna end
The girls we loved that came and went
All the idle time we spent
Playin' records that we'd borrowed
And now it kinda hurts to think
Every time I take a drink
That this would be tomorrow
CHORUS:
DCG
I don't see nothin' wrong with dreaming
DCG
Unless that's all you seem to do
DCG
Something's wrong when you can't find meaning
DCG
Since nineteen seventy-two
DCG
I'm not sure if it's me that needs changing
DCG
Maybe we had a better way
DCG
But then the world always needed re-arranging
EmGD
Even back in the day
EmGD
Even back in the day
INTRO
They've turned the Ritz into a mall
And tore down the Big and Tall
But the ghosts still wander Main Street
They took away the Mom and Pop
There's a seven acre stop
Where you buy new tires and bed sheets
Paula's record shop is gone
It died a little with each song
That was written by committee
And now the stars don't really shine
They steal the glow we left behind
In a time they never did see
CHORUS
INTRO out
