[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
When [G]we were [Bm]young[G]er [Em]time
[G]was under [Em]careful lock and [G]key
Now it's open,
tipped and pourin' [C]out all over [G]me
[Em]Oh, what a[Bm] shame,
that our [Am]days, you explained
I [Em]thought you [Bm]had meant they were [Am]long
[Em]Not 'til t[Bm]he night when I [Am]turned
[Em]25, I saw that I [Bm]had it all [G]wrong

[Verse 2]
[G]I was gettin' tired of lettin'
[C]all my hours [G]pass
Hopin' someday soon or somewhere
[C]everything would [G]last
[Em]Oh, what a[Bm] shame when I [Am]look at your frame
I [Em]know someday [Bm]it will be du[Am]st

[Verse 3]
[Em]Not that t[Bm]he thought is that c[Am]lose
'Cause it's not but,
[Em]I guess it's just [Bm]creepin' up[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Oh and it's not that [C]bad,
[G]it's all this time we've had[D]
[Bm]Things that could be, [C]became mystery,
[G]we'll never know inste[D]ad
[G]Oh, we're not too far gon[C]e,
[G]it hasn't been that lon[D]g
[Bm]Oh our empty cup, [C]is getting filled up
[G]So we'll never have to
[D]dread getting old

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
[C]Oh [Em]oh oo[C] h[Em], oh[C][Am][D][G]
Oh, but it's not that [C]bad,
[G]it's all this time we've had[D]
[Bm]The things that could be, [C]became mystery,
[G]we'll never know inste[D]ad
[G]Oh, we're not too far gon[C]e,
[G]it hasn't been that lon[D]g
[Bm]Oh our empty cup, [C]is getting filled up
[G]So we'll never have to
