[Intro]
C G Fmaj7 Am G
[Verse 1]
C
Sounds like everyone’s already talking about
G
Where they’ll be at 5 years from now
Fmaj7 G
But it never dawned on me how close that is
[Verse 2]
C
And I know I’m not yet that old in age
G
And still have many years left to my name
Fmaj7 G
But those years seem to go faster the older I get
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7
Time marches on and it’s a matter of time
C Am G Fmaj7
‘fore we all get gone but I never realized how soon that could be
Am G Fmaj7
And I know it happens naturally
[Chorus]
C
But if there was a fountain of youth
you’d find me splashing around
G
Cause these years are flying
I can’t hold them down
Am
I swear if I could
I’d do it all again
Fmaj7*
Take me back to then
[Interlude]
C G Fmaj7 Am G
[Verse 3]
C
Well I’m glad I can’t see what the future holds
G
So it’s a surprise as I get old
Fmaj7 G
And a mystery it is till the day I go
[Verse 4]
C
Hopefully my best days are yet to be
G
But I know those old days will be hard to beat
Fmaj7 G
Till then I’ll sit back and just enjoy the show
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7
The clock doesn’t pause for anyone
C
Just keep a living out your minutes till your days are done
Am G Fmaj7
Doesn’t it hold up for anything
Am G Fmaj7
Time just moves on naturally
[Chorus]
C
But if there was a fountain of youth
you’d find me splashing around
G
Cause these years are flying
I can’t hold them down
Am
I swear if I could
I’d do it all again
Fmaj7
Take me back to then
C
If there was a rewind button like a tv set
G
I’d be pressing that thing every chance I’d get
Am
Just to make sure
Fmaj7
I didn’t miss something when
C
It took me back to then
[Interlude]
C G Fmaj7 Am G 2x
[Out-Chorus]
C*
But if there was a fountain of youth
you’d find me splashing around

Cause these years are flying
I can’t hold them down

I swear if I could
I’d do it all again
Fmaj7* C
Take me back to then
