Capo 3rd fret
Chorus:
This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say ...
Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because
Life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask
Chorus:
This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say ...
No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then
There's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday
Those are words I'll never say
Chorus:
This used to be my playground
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy
Chorus:
This used to be our playground
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me
Chorus:
This used to be our playground
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always
free
Wishing you were here with me
