         C                                                                                                   Em 
Oh, our futures were written with crayons in coloring books
                       F                                                                                       C 
It was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked
                         C                                                                       Em 
Like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress
                 F                                                             C 
And the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness
           F                                                   C 
I know since we've grown, we ache for those memories
               F                                                               C                             Em                   C 
Honestly, nothing's even compared to you next to me, next to me
                         C                                                                                                   Em 
When the words came to you for the first time, you knew you were hooked
                       F                                                                             C 
And the pride that you felt at the last page of your first book
                       C                                                                                     Em 
And the bravery I forced when I sang to an audience of three
                   F                                                                                                         C 
Well, it took a million wrong notes just to find a single melody and key
           F                                                       C 
I know since we've grown we plea for clarity
               F                                                                     C                                       Em                           F 
Honestly, nothing's ever made sense til you were next to me, next to me
             Em                   C                       Em                                 F 
If time is money, then I'll spend it all for you
                     Em                         C                 Em                           F 
I will buy you flowers with the minutes we outgrew
                 Em                           C                               Em                         F 
I'll turn hours into gardens, planted just for us to take
                       Em                             C                           Em                           F 
I'll be reckless with my days, building castles in your name
                                                       C 
Since we've grown, we long for concrete things
                 F                                                                         C                                       Em 
Honestly, nothing's felt so sure than when you were next to me, next to me

           C                                                                                                           Em 
So lets cut down the red tape and gather up the pieces of our youth
                                 F                                                                                                                         C 
Cause there's nothing in this world we can't fix with some scissors and glue
