Intro: C 
C                       Em 
I came across a torn up photograph 
                                    Am 
You looked amazing shot in white and black 
            C            F 
But now its been so long since we fell apart 
C                               Em 
I've tried to vision what it'd be like now 
                                         Am 
If we had both tried,tried to work things out 
             C                     F 
We grew so worn and tired, did we give up way too fast 
 
Chorus: 
C 
Because we had some good times, 
But they don't last forever 
Am 
We seemed to grow apart, 
It never got much better 
F 
Oh it's good to see your face, 
But I know things won't change 
G 
Though you seem so far away 
Feels like yesterday 
 
C 
And we had some great nights, 
Staying up together 
Am 
We could read each others' minds 
Now we're on different levels 
F 
Oh it's good to see your face,  
But I know things won't change 
G 
Though you seem so far away 
                Am              F 
Feels like yesterday 
                Am              F 
Feels like yesterday 
 
 
C                                       Em 
We stared out at the world with the same gaze 
                                               Am 
We fought the same fight but still went separate ways 
                C            F 
I'm trying to figure out exactly when things changed 
C                                           Em 
Should we have spent our lives holding onto hope 
                                            Am 
Holding on to the memories from pictures we took 
                C          F 
That don't mean anything, anymore 
 
 
C 
Because we had some good times, 
But they don't last forever 
Am 
We seemed to grow apart, 
It never got much better 
F 
Oh it's good to see your face, 
But I know things won't change 
G 
Though you seem so far away 
Feels like yesterday 
 
C 
And we had some great nights, 
Staying up together 
Am 
We could read each others' minds 
Now we're on different levels 
F 
Oh it's good to see your face,  
But I know things won't change 
G 
Though you seem so far away 
                Am              F 
Feels like yesterday 
                Am              F 
Feels like yesterday 
 
 
Am           C             F 
Don't you go, Don't you go, Oh Yeah 
Am           C             F 
Don't you go, Don't you go, Oh Yeah 
 
C                       Em 
But will we ever feel that way again 
                                   Am 
We felt invincible, like it would never end 
                C                       F 
But now we're left with scars of who we are 
 
 
C 
Because we had some good times, 
But they don't last forever 
Am 
We seemed to grow apart, 
It never got much better 
F 
Oh it's good to see your face, 
But I know things won't change 
G 
Though you seem so far away 
Feels like yesterday 
 
C 
And we had some great nights, 
Staying up together 
Am 
We could read each others' minds 
Now we're on different levels 
F 
Oh it's good to see your face,  
But I know things won't change 
G 
Though you seem so far away 
                Am              F 
Feels like yesterday 
                Am              F 
Feels like yesterday 
 
Am           C             F 
Don't you go, Don't you go, 
 
Don't you go...
