There was a time

Uncle Tupelo


 DG/DBmGBmAGDG/DDBm
                         When you find you can somehow
 GD
 Make it like all the rest
 BmA
 You won't need to scrounge around for someone else
 GD
Torn between the unknown
 GD
And the place you call home
 F#mA
And the life you want but have never known
 D
There was a time
 G/DBm
You could put it out of your mind
 GBm
And leave it all behind
 A
There was a time
 GDG/D
And that time is gone  
What has life for 50 years
In this town done for you
Except to earn your name and place on a barstool
You spend your whole life in this county
You've never been out of state
You say you're going to make it out before it's too late
There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
 DD/GBm
There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense
 GBm
Now that's turned more intense
 A
And all the grudges you've kept around
 GDG/D
Now are nowhere to be found
(Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret,
then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord)
Remember when you didn't have
To look ahead or behind you
There was always something right there to do
But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap
Looking for a way out
We keep moving on that's what it's all about
There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
