Oh, our futures were written with 
                           Em
crayons in coloring books
F                                 
It was misspelled and outside the 
                               C
lines and we loved how it looked
C                          
Like the crooked hem of your 
                          Em
favorite childhood dress
        F                          
And the holes in my jeans from 
             C
years of carelessness
     F                           
I know since we've grown, we ache 
                    Am
for those memories
    F                              
Honestly, nothing's even compared 
             C       Em            C
to you next to me, next to me

C                                 
When the words came to you for the
 first time, you knew you were 
      Em
hooked

        F                          
And the pride that you felt at the 
                         C
last page of your first book
C                                 
And the bravery I forced when I 
                       Em
sang to an audience of three
         F                         
Well, it took a million wrong notes
                               C
 just to find a single melody and 
key
       F                           
I know since we've grown we plea 
    Am
for clarity
        F                          
Honestly, nothing's ever made sense
                C              Em
 til you were next to me, next to me

F     Dm        C                
If time is money, then I'll spend it
 Em
 all for you
F       Dm              C       
I will buy you flowers with the 
    Em
minutes we outgrew
F         Dm              
I'll turn hours into gardens, 
C                 Em
planted just for us to take
F         Dm                 C
I'll be reckless with my days, 
building castles in your name

F                            
Since we've grown, we long for 
  Am
concrete things
F                              
Honestly, nothing's felt so sure 
                          C        
than when you were next to me, next
       Em
 to me

So lets cut down the red tape and 
                                Em
gather up the pieces of our youth
                F
Cause there's nothing in this world 
we can't fix with some scissors and 
glue
