Lyrics
Intro: (Bb) (C) (Gm)
(Gm) "Where did I (Dm) go?" I'm (Gm) tempted to (Dm) ask
If I (Bb) look at my (C) photos from (Gm) many years past
But the (Bb) question is, (C) frankly, (Bb) simply ab(C)surd
'Cos (Gm) I'm still (Dm) here, though (Gm) change has occurred
(Bb) Nothing is (C) permanent
(Bb) Nothing re(C)mains
(Bb) Every moment is (C) different
It's (F) never the same
The (Bb) Earth has moved (C) on
And we're a(Bb)long for the (C) ride
We're (Gm) changing each (Dm) instant
It (Gm) can't be denied
(Gm) "Who am I (Dm) now?" is it le(Gm)git to in(Dm)quire?
Am I that (Bb) fifteen year old (C) lad who to (Gm) fame did aspire
Am I that (Bb) thirty year old (C) actor, is (Bb) anything left of (C) him?
(Gm) Memories of my (Dm) former selves are (Gm) getting rather dim
CHORUS
(Gm) None of the (Dm) cells of those (Gm) past lives sur(Dm)vive
So can I (Bb) ask if my (C) younger self is (Gm) really still alive?
The (Bb) answer I (C) think lies (Bb) in our conscious (C) mind
That (Gm) seems to keep its (Dm) essence (Gm) over our lifetimes
CHORUS
