We used to be kids [C#m] in the backseat wasting [D]
time
[F#m] Talking about [C#m] hopes and [A] daydreams
Never [D] thought love never thought life could take us [C#m] far beyond what we believe
[D]
As long as [C#m] I got your love [A] next to me
[D]
Better than [F#m] I used to be
[C#m] [A] Mmm
[D]
I've been chasing [C#m] this dream.
I'm so glad you [D] understand it
Climbing [D#] up a mountain.
[A] It'll leave you [D] hardly standing
[F#m] Things [E] don't go
[C#m] Just the [D] way you planned it, but I never [E] thought we'd [A] have so much to [D] take for granted
[F#m] Never know what you [C#m] got till it's gone.
Guess I never know cuz [Bm] I know you're my only [A] one
[D]
[F#m] We used to be kids [C#m] in the backseat
[D] wasting time
[F#m] Talking about [E] hopes and [C#m] daydreams
Never [D] thought love never thought [F#m] life could take us [E] far beyond what [C#m] we believe
[D]
[F#m] As long as [C#m] I got your love next to me
[D] I'm better than [F#m] I used to be
[C#m] [A] Mmm
[Bm]
Better than [F#m] I used to be
[C#m] [A] [Bm]
[F#m] It's been a long [E] day alone
[C#m] And I can [D] hardly stand [F#m] it
Plane [E] leaves tomorrow, [C#m] but my heart is [D] already lamb
[F#m] Things [E] don't go
[C#m] Just the [D] way you planned [F#m] it, but I never [E] thought we'd [C#m] have so much to [D] take for granted
[F#m] You never know what you [E] got till it's gone.
[C#m] Guess I never know cuz [D] I know you're my only [F#m] one
[E] [A] The [D] only one [F#m] we used to be kids [C#m] in the backseat
wasting [D] time
