[Intro] A A C#m D A A C#m D A [Verse]
A                                                            C#m
Oh, our futures were written with crayons in coloring books

D                                                                A
It was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked

A                                                    C#m
Like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress

        D                                       A
And the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness

     D                                               F#m
I know since we've grown, we ache for those memories

    D                                           A       C#m            A
Honestly, nothing's even compared to you next to me, next to me

A                                                                      C#m
When the words came to you for the first time, you knew you were hooked

        D                                                   A
And the pride that you felt at the last page of your first book

A                                                        C#m
And the bravery I forced when I sang to an audience of three

         D                                                        A
Well, it took a million wrong notes just to find a single melody and key

       D                               F#m
I know since we've grown we plea for clarity

        D                                          A              C#m
Honestly, nothing's ever made sense til you were next to me, next to me

D     Bm        A                 C#m
If time is money, then I'll spend it all for you

D       Bm              A           C#m
I will buy you flowers with the minutes we outgrew

D         Bm              A                 C#m
I'll turn hours into gardens, planted just for us to take

D         Bm                 A
I'll be reckless with my days, building castles in your name

D                              F#m
Since we've grown, we long for concrete things

D                                                        A               C#m
Honestly, nothing's felt so sure than when you were next to me, next to me
[Interlude] A C#m D A [Outro]
A                                                                  C#m
So let's cut down the red tape and gather up the pieces of our youth

                D
Cause there's nothing in this world we can't fix with some scissors and glue
