Intro: (C) (D) (D) (Em) (Am) (D) (G)

(Em) Twelve twelve (C) eighty-(G)four
(C) Ten o'cl(D)ock at (G) night
(Em) Funny how you (C) can reme(G)mber
Certain (Em) moments (Am) in your (D) life
(Em) I wish I (C) could go (G) back
To take (C) back the (D) words I (B7) said
Thought (C) it's been (D) years since that (Em) night
They still (Am) echo (D) in my (G) head

  (C) Time is a (G) teacher
  Oh, and (B7) time has taught me (Em) well (A7) 
  What (C) brings a (D) man to his kn(Em)ees
  Is often (Am) brought on by him(D)self
  If a (C) second chance were (G) offered
  And she could (B7) love me like be(Em)fore (A7)
  I'd go (C) back to the (D) end and start over a(Em)gain
  On (Am) twelve twelve (D) eighty-(G)four

A cold wind was blowing
It whistled through the pines
I told her I don't need her
And she told me goodbye
I remember embers dying
In the ashes and the coals
And like smoke up the chimney
I watched a true love go

Repeat Chorus 

  I'd go (C) back to the (D) end and start over a(Em)gain
  On (Am) twelve twelve (D) eighty-(G)four
