[Verse 1]
E C#m
A lifetime would end
E
Around the time I said
C#m
Goodbye to my friends
A
And we'd never talk again
[Pre-Chorus]
B
I didn't know that back then
A
Oh my God
B
But wasn't it obvious?
[Verse 2]
E C#m
When I packed all my bags
E
I was never going back
C#m
And it would be four years
A
Until I saw my dad
[Pre-Chorus]
B
I didn't know that back then
A
Oh my God
B
But isn't it obvious
[Chorus]
E
That time runs faster than you can
C#m
You'll look back on what you had
A B
I'm just trying not to feel stuck
E
And I miss things I couldn't keep
C#m
I just want to fall asleep
A B
In the bedroom where I grew up
[Verse 3]
E C#m
I clung on to my pride
E
And I built another life
C#m
But then she would die
A
Before I said goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
B
And I didn't know that back then
A
Oh my god
B
But wasn't it obvious?
[Verse 4]
E
And now sometimes when i close my eyes
C#m
I go ten years back in time
A B
We're still sitting there in your car
E
And I never found a better friend
C#m
These days everybody says
A B
I look just like you when I laugh
[Bridge]
A
So what if I came home
B
Just to visit maybe
That would have made a difference
A
I wanted to leave, I had to follow my dreams
B
Now I watch you get older on a telephone screen
A
I can't seem to get that out of my mind
B
I get this awful feeling late at night
A
That she held on for one more day
B
In case I came home again
[Chorus]
E
Now I sit here in disbelief
C#m
Changed by all the misery
A B
Wishing somebody had told me
E
That time runs faster than you can
C#m
You'll look back on what you had
A B
Then one day you'll wake up and be
[Outro]
E
