Today I walked down the street I used to wander
               C                      G
Yeah, shook my hand and made myself a bet
                    C                              F
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
         C         G       C
Hey, how lucky can one man get?

I bronzed my shoes and I hung 'em from a rearview mirror
              C                         G
Bronzed admiration in a blind spot of regret
                    C                             F
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
