The question of my heart came to my mind:

If I go on with you by my side,
C G D C
Can it be the way it was when we met?
G D
Did you forget all about those golden nights?
[Verse 2]
G Em Bm C D
Maybe if thieves stole your heart
G Em Bm
Or maybe we just drifted apart.

I remember driving

In my daddy's car to the airfield, blanket on the hood,

Backs against the windshield.

That paradise is buried in the dust.

Can it be the way it was?
