Well we’ve come a long long way

Look at everything we know

We’re getting smarter every day,

Ah but where’s it gonna go

For all the words that go by,

I’ve got a [C/E]feeling inside

That after it’s all said and [Ab/Bb]done

Though we’ve come a long long way

This old world’s not much [F/G]better than it was

Oh it’s [Bb/C]just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty

Every[Ab/Bb]day you’d get shot up all the whisky’d get bought up

We’d be dancing the night through, just waiting until

The joke’s on you, ah then what do you do

[Bb/C]Model T’s and Chevies just loaded with heavies

Shining [Ab/Bb]faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses

Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine

Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues

oo oo oo oo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo ooo oo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo ..

We’re flying space ships round the stars

Getting faster by the hour

Pretty soon we’ll be on Mars

Build another Ivory tower

Thru all the praise that you borrow

There’s still [C/E]hunger and sorrow and after it’s all said and [Ab/Bb]done

Though we’ve come a long long way

This old world’s not much [F/G]better than it was

Oh it’s [Bb/C]just like the twenties, machine guns were plenty

Every[Ab/Bb]day you’d get shot up all the whisky’d get bought up

We’d be dancing the night through, just waiting until

The joke’s on you, ah then what do you do

[Bb/C]Model T’s and Chevies just loaded with heavies

Shining [Ab/Bb]faces like morning roses, aglow with their noses

Pressed on your window, just waiting to shine

Your concrete shoes, to the piano roll blues

oo oo oo oo ooo ooo ooo ooo oo ooo oo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo

Don’t rush me, just this once

I want to [Am7-5]make this moment last

Slow down the pace, there’s no hurry

I [Am7-5]can’t let another pass me by again

Let me be the one to say when I’ve had enough

Just let me, close my eyes, memorize

The [Am7-5]way things are this minute

So when you’re gone, I can go on

If [Am7-5]memory can hold within it what I’m feeling

Should time try fading or stealing something away

Hold on, nothing’s the same

Tell me why I feel this way

Life wouldn’t be worth living without you

All along I’ve been the pretender

But now that’s gone forever

Nobody’s ever loved me like you do

[Am7/D]Nobody’s broken

|Gm |F6 |Ebmaj7 |Am7-5 D7 |
through

Got to concentrate, file away

[Am7-5]Every last detail

I don’t want to lose what’s going down

I [Am7-5]want to remember everything I’m feeling

Should time try fading or stealing something away

Hold on, nothing’s the same

Tell me why I feel this way

Life wouldn’t be worth living without you

All along I’ve been the pretender

But now that’s gone forever

Nobody’s ever loved me like you do

[Am7/D]Nobody’s broken through

(Nobody’s [F6/G]ever loved like [Eb/G]you)

Nobody l[F6/G]oves me like you do

(Nobody’s [F6/G]ever broken [Eb/G]through)

Nobody’s [F6/G]ever broken through

(Nobody’s [F6/G]ever loved like [Eb/G]you)

(No nobody’s [F6/G]loves like you)

Nobody’s [F6/G]ever broken [Eb/G]through

(Nobody’s [F6/G]ever broken through)
