Intro.: |(G) |(C/G) | x 4
Well I see the (G)souls (C/G) of so many (G)friends (C/G)
(G) And I see us (C/G)all back here a-(G)gain (C/G)
(C) With sandy (Bm)floors and (Am)ceiling (Bm)fans, (C) a Rastafarian (D)one-man band
With (G)songs that fill my (C/G)memories like a tip (G)jar (C/G)
Yeah, that's what I (G)see (C/G) when I see this (G)bar (C/G)
(G) I see (C/G)tourists at Christmas (G)time (C/G)
(G) And I taste (C/G)beers with a hint of (G)lime (C/G)
(C) I feel (Bm)lonely cause it's (Am)not the (Bm)same, (C) different faces and (D) different names
(G)Living like pirates (C/G)out among the (G)stars (C/G)
Yeah, that's what I (G)see (C/G) when I see this (G)bar
(D) Pieces of our past slowly (G)slip away
(Em) But time just stands (D)still when I walk in this (C) place
And I see a (G)kid (C/G) coming into his (G)own (C/G)
And a (G)man (C/G) learning to move (G)on (C/G)
(C) Somehow (Bm)trying to find (Am) (Bm) his way, (C) a dreamer betting on (D) blind faith
Chasing (G) that sun and (C/G)following his (G)heart (C/G)
Yeah, that's what I (G)see (C/G) when I see this (G)bar
Solo.: |(C)(Bm)|(Am)(Bm)|(C) |(D) |(G) |(G) |(G) |
(D) Pieces of our past slowly (G)slip away
(Em) But time just stands (D)still when I walk in this (C) place
(G) A few have (C/G)moved on back to (G)Maine (C/G)
(G) Jacksonville (C/G) and Key Biscayne (G) (C/G)
(C) Some (Bm)are still (Am)living the (Bm)dream, (C) stuck in still (D)life it seems
No matter (G)where they've been, (C/G) or where they (G)are (C/G)
Yeah, I see 'em (G)here (C/G) when I see this (G)bar, (C/G) when I see this (G)bar |(C/G)|(G)|(CG)|
(G) I wonder where we (C/G)go from here (G) (That's what I (CG)see when I see this bar)
(G) Life ain't over but it's (C/G)always near (G) (That's what I (C/G)see when I see this bar)
(G) I think about all the (C/G)good times that we had (G) (That's what I (C/G)see when I see this bar)
(G) It makes me happy and it (C/G) makes me sad (G) (That's what I (C/G)see when I see this bar)
(G) How could we be so (C/G)close, now so far a-(G)part (That's what I (C/G)see when I see this bar)
(G) That's what I (C/G)feel, (G) that's what I (C/G)see
(G) Yeah, we were living like (C/G) pirates and wannabe (G)stars, that's what I (C/G)see when I see this bar
(Outro.)
