[Verse 1]
E F#m7 B
Well, I gotta admit that the older I get
A
That I don’t know shit about anything anymore
E F#m7 B
And I thought that I did when I was a kid
A
That’s why I like to forget, so I get stoned with my friends
[Chorus]
E F#m7 B
And I guess that I hope when it’s my time to go
A
That they say I was alive, and I tried to be kind
E C#m7 B
And at times at bars with karaoke, I fully ascend
A
And that I left this place better than I found it
E F#m7 B A
Whoo
[Post-Chorus]
E F#m7 B A
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh
[Verse 2]
E F#m7 B
Used to be a know-it-all, now I’m just growing small
A
Cracked the mirror, let if fall, so much for walking so tall
E F#m7 B
When you live in regret, you get stuck in your head
A
You don’t know what to expect, everything’s turning red
[Chorus]
E F#m7 B
Maybe life is like a canvas, throwing paint at the wall
A
And seeing what sticks, loosen the grip and let it fall
E C#m7 B
But the truth of it is, it’s not over yet
A
And I’ll leave this place better than I found it
[Post-Chorus]
E F#m7 B A
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh
E F#m7 B A
Oh, ah-ah, oh, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, oh
[Verse 3]
E F#m7 B
On our sweet by and by, they won’t have to ask why
A
They’ll say we had our mistakes, gave it the old college try
E F#m7 B
In this game of pretend, we’re just trying to mend
A
Maybe we just grow old, to become more like a kid
[Chorus]
E F#m7 B
So we’re walking the line, 'cause we’re all running out of time
A
Gotta keep an open mind and leave the darkness behind
E C#m7 B
And we’ll never regret, like our grandmas said
A
And we’ll leave this place better than we found it
[Bridge]
