Citizen Soldier – Good Old Days (Guitar)

A
This is a letter to the young me

C#m
The one that's six years old

D                                  Dm
    That's full of hope, protected by what they don't know

A                              C#m
Don't wish away a single second of being so naive

D                                  Dm
Too full of peace to be afraid of anything

F#m             D                     A
If I could find that kid today

F#m              D                         E
I'd build a time machine, just so I could say

F#m
Stop growing up and just slow down

D
Nothing's better than what you have now

A
'Cause someday you'll look back and say

E
That you were living in the good old days

F#m
Stay innocent 'cause you can't see

D
Life's so much harder than you once believed

A
You won't know it until it's too late

E
But you were living in the good old days (good old days)

A
This is a warning to a dumb kid

C#m
The one that’s counting down

D                           Dm
Thе days 'till they can get away from their homеtown

A
Oh, don't you wish away the present

C#m
You don't know it's worth

D                          Dm
'Cause the scenery you change won't make you happier

F#m             D                     A
Long drives, light games and skipping class

F#m             D                     A
Your heart will break when you look back

F#m              D                         E
'Cause one day you went out to play and didn't know it was the last

F#m
Stop growing up and just slow down

D
Nothing's better than what you have now

A
'Cause someday you'll look back and say

E
That you were living in the good old days

F#m
Stay innocent 'cause you can't see

D
Life's so much harder than you once believed

A
You won't know it until it's too late

E
But you were living in the good old days (good old days)

F#m
Bad blood, deep scars, things that traumatize

D
Wait here for you on the other side

A
Don't waste these sacred years

E
The grass ain’t greener here

F#m
Memories that keep you awake at night

D
Self-doubt so strong, you'll be paralyzed

A
Don't waste these sacred years

E
The grass ain’t greener here

F#m 
If I could find that kid today, I'd say

F#m
Stop growing up and just slow down

D
Nothing's better than what you have now

A
'Cause someday you'll look back and say

E
That you were living in the good old days

F#m
Stay innocent 'cause you can't see

D
Life's so much harder than you once believed

A
You won't know it until it's too late

E
But you were living in the good old…. days
