Coming to the end of a long long walk when a man crawled out of a cardboard box under the
E Street Bridge followed me on to it
I went out halfway across with that homeless shadow tagging along so I
Dug for some change wouldn't need it anyway he
PRE-CHORUS:
Took it lookin' just a bit a-shamed he said you
Know I haven't always been this way I've had my
CHORUS:
Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none
Bm `Esus4 `E
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do like that
Plane ride coming home from the war that summer my son was born
Bm `Esus4 `E
Memories like a coat so warm a cold wind can't get through
`D `E7 D A
Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
VERSE:
`E7 `D `E7 `D
I stood there tryin' to find my nerve wondering if a single soul on Earth would
Care at all miss me when I'm gone that
`E7 `D `E7 `D
Old man just kept hanging around lookin' at me lookin' down I think he
Recognized that look in my eyes
PRE-CHORUS:
Standing with him there I felt a-shamed I said you
Know I haven't always been this way I've had my
CHORUS:
Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none
Bm `Esus4 `E (D)
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do like the
Day I walked away from the wine for a woman who became my wife and a
Bm `Esus4 `E
Love that when it was right could always see me through
`D `E7 D A
Lookin' at me now you might not know it I've had my moments I know
BRIDGE:
Somewhere 'round a trashcan fire to-night that
Bm `Esus4 `E `
Old man tells his story one more time he says I've had my
CHORUS-LONG:
Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none
Bm `Esus4 `E (D)
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do like that
Cool night on the E Street Bridge when a young man almost ended it I was
Bm `Esus4 `E
Right there wasn't scared a bit and I helped to pull him through
`D `E7 `D `E7
Lookin' at me now you might not know it oh

Lookin' at me now you might not know it I've had my

in fact stays in time with an extra two beats:
