G
If we would've met when we were younger
C G
I don't think we would have fallen in love

You were the queen of homecoming

I was a jack backyard cinema

With flowing locks of gold

And I had a heavy conscience
D7 G
So I did what I was told
[Chorus]

Ain't it funny where we were back then

Ain't it funny where we are right now

If you could've seen me in the hard times
C G
My face when I was young
C G
I would've seen you s a trophy
D7
For the hell I'd overcome
G
Now I'm not the one I was back then
C G
And the struggles don't define me
C G
I met you in that holy heat
D7 G
Now let the fire re-find me
