C                                                            Em 
Oh, our futures were written with crayons in coloring books              
F                                                                C 
It was misspelled and outside the lines and we loved how it looked 
C                                                    Em 
Like the crooked hem of your favorite childhood dress 
        F                                       C 
And the holes in my jeans from years of carelessness 
     F                                               Am 
I know since we've grown, we ache for those memories   
    F                                           C       Em            C 
Honestly, nothing's even compared to you next to me, next to me 

C                                                                      Em 
When the words came to you for the first time, you knew you were hooked 
        F                                                   C	 
And the pride that you felt at the last page of your first book 
C                                                        Em 
And the bravery I forced when I sang to an audience of three 
         F                                                        C 
Well, it took a million wrong notes just to find a single melody and key 
       F                               Am 
I know since we've grown we plea for clarity 
        F                                          C              Em 
Honestly, nothing's ever made sense til you were next to me, next to me

F     Dm        C                 Em 
If time is money, then I'll spend it all for you 
F       Dm              C           Em 
I will buy you flowers with the minutes we outgrew 
F         Dm              C                 Em 
I'll turn hours into gardens, planted just for us to take 
F         Dm                 C 
I'll be reckless with my days, building castles in your name 

F                              Am 
Since we've grown, we long for concrete things 
F                                                        C               Em 
Honestly, nothing's felt so sure than when you were next to me, next to me 

C Em F C 

C                                                                 Em 
So lets cut down the red tape and gather up the pieces of our youth 
                F 
Cause there's nothing in this world we can't fix with some scissors and glue
