Blink Of An Eye chords by Passenger

🎸 Intro:

G Am Em D  (x2)



🎸 Verse 1:
G           C   G
 I was a dreamer when I was young
D          Em   C
Lyin' on the grass, starin' Cat the sky
G          C       G
 I never felt the time was moving on
   D            Em
I thought it would stay the same
   C
For all my life
D    Em       C      D
 Playin' games under Christmas lights
     Em    C       D
When the world was warm and bright
Em     C    D
But that time just seemed to fly
            G Am Em D
In the blinking of an eye

🎸 Verse 2:
G          C     G
 I was a joker when I was at school
D        Em     C
 Smokin' grass, laughing and gettin' high
G          C      G
I never cared about nothin' at all
   D           Em
I thought it would stay the same
   C
For all my life
D     Em     C      D
 Kissing girls under summer nights
     Em    D      C
When the world was big and bright
      Em    D     C
But that time just passed me by
            G
In the blinking of an eye

🎸 Verse 3:
Am          Em
 I left home at seventeen
G           D
 Tried to get into the music scene
Am            Em
 It wore me down like an old machine
  G            D         G Am Em
I learnt how to work and forgot how to dream, oh
D  G Am Em D
Yeah

🎸 Verse 4:
G           C   G
 I fell in love at twenty-one
D              Em     C
Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes
G              C G
 Wouldn't have traded it for anyone
  D        Em
I thought it would stay the same
   C    D
For all my life
      Em    C    D
But I was just too young to know
     Em    C    D
I let her down and let her go
   Em        C   D
That time taught me how to cry
            G Am Em D
In the blinking of an eye
            G Am Em D
In the blinking of an eye

🎸 Verse 5:
G          C    G
 I hit the road at twenty-three
D              Em        C
Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by
G          C G
 Foot-loose and fancy-free
  D             Em
I thought it would stay the same
        D
For all my life.
     Em        C     D
Oh and practice taught me how to preach
        Em    C    D
I touched the world, so out of reach
     Em     C    D
And that time, it lived and died
            G
In the blinking of an eye

🎸 Verse 6:
Am         Em
 It all changed at twenty-nine
G             D
 My boat came in and the stars aligned
Am         Em
 I watched a simple song of mine
G            D         G Am Em
Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah
D  G Am Em D
Yeah
G Am Em D

G Am Em D


🎸 Outro:
G         C   G
 Now I'm here at thirty-six
D             Em        C
Down in the grass, tryna make sense of it all
G         C   G
 Maybe there's no easy fix
  D          Em    C   D
The highest highs come with the hardest falls
     Em     C    D
See the good times come and go
      Em  C     D
Like the people that you know
  Em   C      D
And all you can do is try
                  G
For it's gone in the blink of an eye
