Intro: D A
DIs it my imagination or is Git my iron pride
I Awonder if it matters much if Bmtime is on my side
I'd rather press Don--I don't wanta rest Geasy Bm
Anywhere I Astray--I will Dmake it a brand new Gday
Anyway that is Dall I've gotta Asay
BmI'd rather be by the Dseaside
than be Gplayin' a one night Dstand
I've been Bmtoo wrapped up in Dmy own dreams
I will Gchange things if I Acan
I gotta press Don--don't wanta rest Geasy Bm
Wouldn't it feel Afine--to reDturn to the women and the

wine and all of the sunshine that we knew
Intro
You will never know what blue is
until you have played the game
Til you see life in solitaire where no one
knows your name
I'd rather press on--I don't wanta rest easy
Have anyway you will--I will be with you right up
Until the spell is broken and all is well
If you'd rather be by the seashore
well I sure can understand
Are ya too wrapped up in your own scene
I will change things if I can
I'd rather press on--I don't wanta rest easy
Wouldn't it feel fine--
but remembering the rhythm and the rhymes
And all of the good times makes me blue
Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine
And all of the sunshine that we knew
