[Bb] [F] [Am] [G]
[Bb] [F] [Am] [G] [Gm]
[Am] Looking back I guess that [Gm] ignorance was a breeze.
I [Am] thought I knew everything [Gm] but I was naive.
[Am] Didn't understand until the [Dm] age of 18.
Yeah, [Eb] even then, I was [Gm] blind.
[Am] 2012, I remember [Gm] being in need.
True, [Am] 2015, you were [Gm] falling for me.
You [Am] sent through a love letter for [Dm] me to read.
And [Eb] it's engraved in my [Gm] mind
[Em] She [Am] changed the world [A] I know
[G] And it's better for it
Four [A] years [Am] later and look where [G] we really are
Look [A] how far we've [G] come
Look at us [Gm] now
Oh, we're flying
[F] I finally know [Gm] I'm here for a reason
[F] Thank you for waiting on [C] me
[E] I'm dying [F] to see her
[Gm] She's my favorite of the season
Thank you for everything
[Am] January [Gm]
[Am] baby, I was taking [Gm] my time
Spending [Am] summer, it can't be good [Gm] in July
[Am] Why can't it be like this for the rest of [Dm] my life?
Although [Eb] I will be [Gm] mine
Cause [G] she changed [F] the world [Am] I know
[Gm] And it's better for it
[G] Four [Am] years later and look [Gm] where we really are
[G] Look [F] how far [C] we've [Gm] come
And [G] [A] nothing's changed that [Bb]
much
Look at [A] us now
I'm [D]
proud of [F] [Bb] you
[Gm] Oh, [Eb]
she's [Bb] on her way towards [Ab] me
That means [Bb] it all gets better [Ab] soon
I hope [Eb] my world feels better [Gb]
soon
I hope [Fm] my life feels [Bb] better soon
You [Eb]
let [Bb] me do what I needed to
[Ab] So this one's [Bb] for you
Cause even [Ab] when my worst traits get in [Eb] the way
You're [Gb] here to help me [Fm] feel safe
[Bb] I don't need to be with anyone else
I don't need to [Gm]
explain [Am] it
[Gm] No, I don't need [Am] to explain it [Gm] No, no
[Am] [Gm]
Why [C] do we?
[Gm]
[G] She changed [Am] the world I know
And [Gm] it's better for it
Four [Am] years later and look [Gm] where we really are
[G] She changed [Am] the world I know
[Dm] [Gm]
[G] She [Dm] changed [Am] the world I know
[Gm]
I'm dying to [Am] see her
Run around [Gm] and dance in the forest
She changed the [Am] world I know
And [Gm] it's better for it
I'm dying to [Am] see her
Run [Dm] around [Gm] and dance in the [G] forest
[F] Look [Am] at us now
[N]
