Verse: 
 
A           C                      A 
I bet that you love me like I love you 
              C                             A 
But I should know that gambling just don't pay 
 
So I look up to the sky 
 
And I wonder what it'll be like in days gone by 
G                      F 
As I sit and bathe in the wave of nostalgia 
G        A 
For an age yet to come 
   
A          C                   A                 
I always used to dream of the past 
              C                      A 
But like they say yesterday never comes 
 
Sometimes there's a song in my brain 
 
And I feel that my heart knows the refrain 
G                               F 
I guess it's just the music that brings on nostalgia 
G              A 
For an age yet to come 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
A F E                    A             A F E 
Aaaaaaaah, nostalgia for an age yet to come  
                 A 
Nostalgia for an age yet to come 
 
 
Verse: 
 
A            C                   A 
About the future I only can reminisce 
              C                      A 
For what I've had is what I'll never get 
 
And although this may sound strange 
 
My future and my past are presently disarranged 
G                                F 
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia 
 G               A 
For an age yet to come 
 
 
A         C                     A 
I look I only see what I don't know 
              C                      A 
All that was strong invincible is slain 
 
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine 
 
And I feel like I'm trapped in the middle of time 
G                                F 
With this constant feeling of nostalgia 
G                  A 
For an age yet to come
