G                      Am
Fourteen and wondering where my life begins
C                           G
My brother softly sleeping, rain upon the tin
                              Am
Love was still a mystery, the summer days so slow
C                                         G
The hauling hay and double plays it was a lifetime ago
Am               C
Take me back somewhere

Chorus:
             G
But now it’s only stars and shadows and heaven’s just a dream
  Am                                  C
I thought that I knew trouble but the devil laughed at me
    G
Any life that was worth living any moment without fear
             Am                    C         G     C
It’s getting harder to remember anywhere but here

A rhyme without a reason time without a place
Sweet smell of her brown hair, lips upon my face
I feel her soft surrender I know the moment’s gold
The yesterdays are a river that the mind can only hold
I close my eyes I’m there

Chorus
Em   C   G   C
Bridge:
C                  G
Anywhere but here, there’s a breeze upon the water
C                   G
Anywhere but here, there’s people there who care
Am                               C
And though my mind is aching the moments they awaken

Seem so clear

Refrain:
G                      Am
Fourteen and wondering where my life begins
C                           G
My brother softly sleeping, rain upon the tin
