I miss you, man
    F        G  C
Before anyone knew our name
            F
We had the fire, had desire
       G      C
But what went wrong then?
            F      G  C
It seemed so big in the eye of our storm
                F     G   C
We couldn't have been further away from unknown
          F        G     C
Who did we become?  Amen, we were meant to be
           F    G  C
Was that really your  destiny?
            F
Was that really your dream?
      G     C            F    G  C
I don't really feel anyone else came close to how we see
          F      G  C
We had the prize before our eyes
                F  G  C
But we already had it all anyway
                F           G  C
Driving 'round for hours on end  with the music on loud
                 F           G  C
Driving round in a scrapyard van  with the music on loud
                 F         G  C
I've laughed and cried, I've confessed, and I've lied
              F       G  C
We built this thing from a dead-end street
                F    G       C  F  G
And now I'm looking around for you to see, I miss you, man

I miss you, man

Verse 2:
  C           F       G
The street's so quiet now, rundown and heavy
   C         F        G  C
It used to be alive, swimming pools of cries
                  F        G
Yeah, we said our sorries, yeah, we made our make-ups
   C                   F  G  C
But that don't make up for what's missing now
              F      G  C
We built this thing from a dead-end street
                     F       G  C
You couldn't drive through, just take the bus or just meet
               F     G  C
The mountaintops, they don't seem so high
                F     G  C
The trees I climbed, they don't seem so high
              F          G
I take my kids to see the world where we played
      C  F  G
I miss you, man

Chorus:
    C          F        G
Before anyone knew our name  we had the fire
    C          F       G
Before anyone knew our name  we had desire
    C          F  G
Before anyone knew our name
      C  F  G
I miss you, man
    C          F        G
Before anyone knew our name  we had the fire
    C          F       G
Before anyone knew our name  we had desire
