Tuning:
I’ve played around with both of the other submitted versions for this song, and neither of ‘em quite nailed
it. So, with a little help pinning down the key via version 2, I’ve decided to give it a shot!

[Intro]
Bm D G D/F# Em Bm A F#
[Verse 1]
Bm I'm half remembered, halfway aDcross the Gworld,
Twice removed from my second homeD/F#,
A sEmhadow of a ghost in an old hBmaunt,
With a Alease on life 'cause I can't afford to F#own,
Bm When being young starts getting Dold,
A new Gplace saves face or so I'm D/F#told,
I'll be theEm new kid on an old block,
Bm A chalk Aoutline on a playground black top.F#
[Chorus]
I'm just a Bmmoment so don't letD me pGass you by,
D/F# We could be a Emstory in the morning but Dwe'll be a Alegend tonight,F#
I'm justBm a moment so don't letD me Gpass you by,
D/F# And they can speak our Emnames in a dead language 'Dcause Ayou and I,
We're aF#live, but just for a Bmmoment.
[Verse 2]
Bm I'm twice the man that I thought I was DyesteGrday,
Half the time I'm a world awD/F#ay,
A Emflicker of a soul casting silhouBmettes,
On the Aface of a town that could not get me to F#stay,
Bm When the spark's gone,
Former Dlovers just Glooking for a bus to throw me D/F#under,
I'll be the Emnew kid on an old block,
Bm A chalk Aoutline on a playground black F#top.
[Chorus]
I'm just a Bmmoment so don't letD me Gpass you by,
D/F# We could be a Emstory in the morning but Dwe'll be a Alegend tonightF#,
I'm just a Bmmoment so don't letD me Gpass you by,
D/F# And they can speak our Emnames in a dead language 'Dcause Ayou and I,
We're aF#live, but just forG a moment.E
Just for a GmomentA F#
[Bridge]
Bm When being young starts getting Dold,
A new Gplace saves face or so I'm D/F#told,
I'll be the Emnew kid on an old block,
Bm A chalk Aoutline on a playground black tF#op.
[Chorus]
I'm just a Bmmoment so don't letD me Gpass you by,
D/F# We could be a Emstory in the morning Dbut a lAegend tonight,F#
I'm just a Bmmoment so don't letD me Gpass you by,
D/F# And they can speak our Emnames in a dead language 'Dcause Ayou and I,
We're F#alive, but just for a Bmmoment,D
Just for a Gmoment,D/F#
Just for a Emmoment.D A F#
