Standard Tuning - No capo
F Am
Every word's a new regret if you say it right, right
G C
Every wound can be forgotten in the right light
F Am
Oh nostalgia, I don't need you anymore
G C
Cause the salad days are over and the meat is at my door
F Am
Cause they might try to tell you how you can live your life
G C
But don't, don't forget it's your right, to do whatever you like, you like
N.C.
Cause you could be your own spotlight,
F
e-o, e-o
G Am
You could be your own spotlight,
F
e-o, e-o
G Am
You could be your own spotlight,
F G Am
you could be the star, you can shine so bright,
F
e-o, e-o,
G Am F G
You could be your own, cause they're gonna tell you all the rules to break
Am F G Am F
To take away that light, somebody, somebody now
G Am
You could be your own spotlight,
F
e-o, e-o
G Am
You could be your own spotlight.
(same chords as first verse)
F Am
Depression is a little bit like happy hour, right
G C
It's always gotta be happening somewhere on any given night
F Am
Oh nostalgia I don't need you anymore
G C
I just hope my perfect stranger that my kids look more like yours
