12/12/84
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.
