 Capo 3rd
  
 Intro:  |D     |G    A|     D|
 
 CHORUS:
 D               G                         A
 Bending blades, tall grass blowing in the breeze,
                D
 Shining in the sun.
 D            G                 A
 Lonely days, I keep going to a place
                     D
 We met when we were young.
 
 Verse 1:
 D             G
 All I saw was flowers growing. 
       A                              D
 All I heard the three words that you spoke.
 D                G                      A
 A blinded heart, never knowing that the dream
                   D
 Would die when I awoke.
 
 BRIDGE 2:
 Bm         D        G     D    A   D                             
   In those days our lives were simple.
 Bm      D         G   D    A
   I was yours and you were mine.
 Bm          D        G   D   A    D   G         
   But I was wrong to try and hold you tight
                   A
 And tie you to my side.

 BRIDGE 2:
 Bm      D       G    D   A     D
   In my heart I long for those days 
 Bm            D        G      D  A
   Though your love has passed me by.
 Bm               D          G    D    A  D  G
   And though the hard times weep down on me still
                      A
 I hold your dream up high.
