[A]
[G]
[A] Can't pretend that nothing's changed.
[D] Living in the shadows of [A] the love we made.
When we [Em] were beautiful, before the [D] world got small.
Before [A] we knew it all.
When we were [Em] innocent, I wonder [G] where it went.
Scroll back [A] and find it.

[D]
[A] Some dreams live, and [G] some will die.
[D] But for you and me, [A] you're still alive.
Am I blessed, [G] or am I cursed?
It's [D] the way we are, [A] ain't the way we were.
When we were beautiful, before [D] the world got small.
