G    C          G                   G           Em 
   Feeling old before my years too tired for my age 
 C               D                 G            Em 
Sittin down and downing beers and write another page 
 C              D                   G            Em 
Same old story brand new lines my repertoire hurts some time 
/ Am      /              /    D            /              / 
Useful thinking occupies the space I feel between my ties, oh 
   C                D 
Take me back to yesterdays 
      G                          Em 
When getting high meant seeing Willie Mays 
 C                D 
Take me to my childhood 
       G                  Em 
When Willie played that game so good 
 C              D 
Take me flying back in time 
       G                    Em 
When stealing base was the biggest crime 
  Am     
Take me to when I'm thinking of 
        C               D                   Em  D  C  D 
When I held the world inside of a baseball glove 
C                   D               G              Em 
Youth it comes and goes so fast tho some never let go 
     C              D                   G                Em 
Who cares I'm liven in the past I'm the first to let you know 
  C            D              G                Em 
Smiling until make believe is so instilled it cannot leave 
  Am                               D 
Youthful dreams of my childhood I wonder was my life that good 
 C               D 
Take me back to yesterday 
       G                        Em 
When getting high meant seeing Willie Mays 
 C             D 
Take me to my childhood 
      G                  Em 
When we all played that game so good 
 C              D 
Take me flying back in time 
       G                    Em 
When cutting class was the biggest crime 
 Am               
Take me to when I'm thinking of 
       C             D               Em  D  C 
When baseball was the only thing I loved 
 Em           D           Em               D 
Feel I been disconnected far and away too long 
   F            Am              C                    D 
How long can I go on living my whole life through a song 
 Em            D         Em         D 
Facing up to changes I found other ways 
 F              Am        Em |||   D |||   E |||| 
I become that kid again watching Willie Mays
