[Verse] D* D* Em G The patience I once had is running away with my youth
Em          G
Away in its hands
D* D* I've been neglecting who I am
                   Em       G
That's just who I was back then

      Em          G              D    G
Don't need to be perfect, just happy

    D         G      D  Em G
I'm still a lost boy

    D         G
I'm still a lost boy
[Chorus]
G         Bm        A                         G

D*               D*                Em            G     Em            G
Every once in a while I listen to Death Cab and think about how it used to be 
D* D* We thought that we knew the answers
Em               G
When no one was asking

Em            G       D  G
Asking the questions 

    D         G      D  Em G
I'm still a lost boy

    D         G
I'm still a lost boy
[Chorus]

Last year I was a trainwreck, now I'm just a mess

     Bm     A                         D
I'm letting go so I don't lose myself

                 G                    D
I'm starting to be where I need to be

                G
I'm starting to be where I need to be
[Bridge] G G Bm A
                          G
It feels like I've been taking the long way for a while now

                Bm                          A
Haven't been at home in more years than I care to say

        G                                                Bm
I keep letting my past cover what the present shouldn't be

                 A
What I shouldn't be
[Chorus]
D                     A                         G
  Last year I was a trainwreck, now I'm just a mess

     Bm      A                         D
I'm letting go so I don't lose myself

                G                     D
I'm starting to be where I need to be

                 G                    
I'm starting to be where I need to be
