2nd VERSE:
Lullabys, look in your eyes, run around the same old town.   
Doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.       
I've been first and last, look at how the time goes past.    
But I'm all alone at last, rolling home to you.        

repeat chorus and go immediately into intro again            
but on the last "you were" finish as below:                  

D        F      C     G     D                                
you were.
