G       G/F Em       C                       G 	 
12/12/84,             ten o’clock at night

G 	 G/F  Em 	 C 	 D
funny how you can remember certain moments in your life

G           G/F   Em 	 C 	 D 	 G
I wish I could go back and take back the words I said

C 	 D 	 G 	 Em 	 C 	 D 	 G
Though its been years since that night they still echo in my head

CHORUS

C 	      G 	  	 G  G/F                Em
Time is a teacher      oh and time has taught me well

C 	  	 D 	 G      Em 	  	 C 	  	 D
What brings a man   to his knees are often brought on by himself

C 	  	  	      G 	  	   G 	 G/F  Em
If a second chance were offered, she could love me like before

C 	 D 	       G G/F Em        	 C       D       G
I’d go back to the end and start over again, on 12/12/84

VERSE TWO

That could wind was blowing, it whispered through the pines
I told her I don’t need her, as she told me goodbye
I remember embers dying in the ashes and the cold
And like smoke up the chimney, I watched a true love go.
