You used to be great

115 BPM

CHORUS
                        F
You used to be great
                  C
I like your early stuff
                          Bf                                 C
When you were happy and young and fun

You used to be great
When you were channeling

VERSE (intermittent strumming)
But you got old
And you got serious
Took yourself
To extremes

With conversions
And inversions
Of the versions
You thought you had been
Bf                         C
Chasing the ghost of a dream

CHORUS

VERSE
 trying hard
Trying too hard
To get back
To what you thought you had been

Casting aspersions
Against persons
For desertions
You perceived there had been

You were chasing the ghost of a dream

CHORUS

CHORUS (instrumental)

MIDDLE
Maybe you should have 
taken a break
Travelled around well it's 
not too late

Childhood innocence is 
still somewhere
Pull off the shades 
to get back there

CHORUS
And be great
Just like your early stuff...
