Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
D 
C 
I  always
G 
go the other way,
C 
but my car drove me down today
G 
D 
To a little house on the older side of town
G 
Back when things were never hard,
C 
I used to play there in that yard
G 
D 
And I just drove by to see if things
G 
C 
G 
D 
had changed
G 
Cokes were just a nickel then,
C 
and across the street at five and ten
G 
A lot of things were cheap
D 
and square and strange
G 
The life we had, it might have been
C 
It was one we loved, believing in
G 
D 
And I just drove by to see if
G 
C 
G 
things had changed
D 
I wonder now if love is still
G 
C 
G 
the way it was back then
A 
I need to know that life is still
D 
a place worth living in
G 
There it is, just like it was,
C 
a house where there is always love
G 
D 
And I just drove by to see if things had
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
C 
G 
D 
changed
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
In a world that's seen its better days
C 
It's good to know some
things remain the same
G 
D 
Though standing still is not time's way
G 
Take to heart while in its spring
C 
That love is just a fragile thing
Am 
G 
And I just strove by to
D 
G 
C 
see if things had changed
G 
D 
I just drove by to see if
G 
C 
G 
things had changed
