When We Could

G


[Verse]
G
If you call our names
F          C                       G
We'll come arise and ready and primed
G
Such a sturdy face
F                  C               G
You can tell we're aging by the lines
G
Keep on saying how
F              C
That's sort of fine and strange, although
F           C
Even if the wind has ceased to blow
F        C                  G  G
We won't run and we won't cry


[Chorus]
G                    C                        G
Look how we stand forever more, when we could
G              C                                 G
Staying up and laughing all night, when we could
G               C                               G
Keep on smiling till it's bright, when we could

C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could

G

[Verse]
G
You sure called it right
F            C                      G
You said I'd wither and not grow back
G
It's not a fine way to go
F          C                       G
I think we left there with our pride
G
I hate to call out hands
F             C
But pardon my way of being slow
F        C
Cover me up and let me go
F              C                           G
And make it as thick and as dark as the night


[Chorus]
G                     C                        G
And we could laugh forever more, when we could
G                   C                            G
Tear it up like the dogs at night, when we could
G                      C                            G
And we could fight and bury them all, when we could

C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could
C            G
When we could
