Back

116th Tab

by Shoshana Bean


This is one special and incredibly beautiful song, by the all so very talented Shoshana Bean.
I'm not 100% sure about the chords at the beginning, but the ending is supposed to be better.

                                 
You wouldn't believe how things have changed,
                      
Hardly anything looks the same.
                                
It used to be a quiet street, now people pass on hurried feet.
                         
You wouldn't believe how things have changed on 116th.

                           
It was the place where love began,
                           
Where you and I walked hand in hand.
                                
On a summer night in late July, I sang to you a lullaby.
                                           
Not everything ends the way you planned on 116th.


               
All we had was a little apartment,
                 
A mattress on the floor where we slept.
                  
We lived small but we dreamed big, 
                    
And love was growing where we lay,
     
And now…


                              
Back then I could only think of now, Yeah,
                            
But now I look back and wonder how.
                      
How could I have wished away the time,
                        
When life was simple and you were mine.
                                               
I'd give all that I have to have just one more day, 
                       
In your arms to feel you hold me tight, 
                            
To sleep upon your chest that night,
                                  
I wanna go back, I'd give anything to go back.
                         
I wanna go back to 116th.
