This used to be my playground
D7/4                        Gm
This used to be my childhood dream
Bb/C                       F         F/Eb
This used to be the place I ran to
Bb/D           Gm              C7/4  F
Whenever I was in need of a friend
F/Eb           D7
Why did it have to end and why do they always say
Eb7+            D7/4                  Gm
"Don't look back, keep your head held high"?
           Gm7                     Eb7+         D7/4
Don't ask them why, because life is short
            Gm                              Bb/C
And before you know you're feeling old
                 Eb7+    D7/4
And your heart is breaking
                       Cm                           Gm  F
Don't hold on to the past, well, that's too much to ask

F/Eb          D7/4                                        Eb7+  D7/4
Why did it have to end and why do they always say "no regrets"?
         Gm                          Gm7
But I wish that you were here with me
            Eb7+                  D7/4
Well, then there's hope yet
         Gm                           Gm7
 I can see your face in our secret place
                   Eb7+        D7/4
You're not just a memory
                                       Cm
"Say good-bye to yesterday "
                                           Gm
Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say)
