The Etruth is solid proof, there’s no foolin’ you,
G#m7I don’t dress the same.
C#mMe and who you say I was yesterday
have Agone our separate ways.
ELeft my livin’ fast somewhere in the past
cuz G#m7that’s for chasin’ cars.
C#mTurns out rocky starts lead to broken hearts
and Agoin’ way too far.
E I know I used to be crazy,
G#7 I know I used to be fun,
C#m you say I used to be wild,
Am6 I say I used to be young.
E You tell me time has done changed me,
G#7 that’s fine – I’ve had a good run –
C#m I know I used to be crazy,
Am6 that’s cuz I used to be young.
ETime to let it out, it’s not worth cryin’ ’bout,
the G#m7things you can’t erase.
Like C#mtattoos and regrets, words I never meant
and Aones that got away.
ELeft my livin’ fast somewhere in the past
and G#m7took another road.
C#mTurns out crowded rooms empty out as soon,
there’s Asomewhere else to go,
oh ohh…
E I know I used to be crazy,
G#7 I know I used to be fun,
C#m you say I used to be wild,
A I say I used to be young.
E You tell me time has done changed me,
G#7 that’s fine – I’ve had a good run –
C#m I know I used to be crazy,
A that’s cuz I used to be young.
(just wing it cuz I don’t have time to line this all up 🤷♀️)
