C 
There was a time
            F
There was a place
               G      F
There was your name
            C
It was your face
         C  
I was sixteen
                   F
Thought I knew the plan
            G     F
You were my girl
               C
and I was your man


Late nights on the phone 
Late nights in the car
Late nights chasing you
Where ever you were
Maybe those were the days
I know those were my nights
I left them so far
So dim to those lights


Chorus:
     F    G      C
That even when I dream at night
F        G        C
I cannot see your face
        F        G        C      Am
Well, I close my eyes and softly say
F             G       C
Those were my younger days


Instrumental Break

Friday nights at the park
Pep rallies at school 
You cheering for me
Me playin’ for you
Sometimes I look back
but I really can't see
That girl that I loved 
My young sweet Marie
