Six Years Wiser
View chords used in this chart
And who I should be
Cadd9
Is still out of reach
[Chorus]
G D/F#
My brother's always gonna be six years wiser
Em Cadd9
I keep on getting older and the bar keeps getting higher
G D/F#
My exes and friends all just seem so successful
Em Cadd9
I'm not sure six years will be enough
G D/F#
I see Andrew walk over and he says to Jesus
Em Cadd9
"I'm not sure even you could pick up those pieces"
G D/F#
Everyone's so impressive and counselling's expensive
Em Cadd9
So I'm not sure six years will be enough
N.C G
To catch up
D/F#
Ohh
Em Cadd9
Ohh - oh oh oh
N.C
[Verse 2]
G
I was always just a little much
D/F#
Always never quite enough
Em
So she's trading in my lesser traits
Cadd9
For California licence plates
G
I fall in love with you again
D/F#
Not who you are but who you've been
Em
Cause now it's like you don't exist
Cadd9 G
Just memories of one more thing I can't fix
D/F#
I just don't know how
Em
And if you didn't like me then
C N.C
There's no way you'd love me now
[Chorus]
G D/F#
My brother's always gonna be six years wiser
