Capo 4
C/B: x20010
Intro: Am C/B C F x2
Am C/B C F
I guess you really did it this time
Am C/B C F
Left yourself in your war path
Am C/B C F
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Am C/B C F
Lost your mind trying to get it back
G Am F
Wasn’t it easier in your lunchbox days?
G Am F
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
G Am F
Wasn’t it beautiful when you believed in everything
G Am F
And everybody believed in you
Chorus:
C G
It’s alright, just wait and see your, string of lights are still bright to me, oh
Am F Am C/B C
Who you are is not what you’ve been, you’re still an innocent
F Am C/B C F
You’re still an innocent
Am C/B C F
There’s some things you can’t speak of
Am C/B C F
But tonight you’ll live it all again
Am C/B C F
You wouldn’t be shattered on the floor now
Am C/B C F
If only you were seeing what you know now, then
G Am F
Wasn’t it easier in your firefly catching days?
G Am F
And everything out of reach, someone picked up and brought down to you
G Am F
Wasn’t it beautiful running wild ‘til you fell asleep
G Am F
Before the monsters caught up to you
Chorus:
C G
It’s alright, just wait and see, your string of lights are still bright to me, oh
Am F
Who you are is not what you’ve been, you’re still an innocent
C G
It’s okay, life is a tightrope, thirty-two and still growing up now
Am F
Who you are is not what you did, you’re still an innocent
Am C/B C F
Am G
Time turns flames to embers, you’ll have new Septembers
F
Every one of us has messed up too
Am G
Lines change like the weather, I hope you remember
F Am C/B C F
Today is never too late to, be brand new
Am C/B C F
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh
Chorus:
C G
It’s alright, just wait and see your, string of lights are still bright to me, oh
Am F
Who you are is not what you’ve been, you’re still an innocent
C G
It’s okay, life is a tight rope, thirty-two and still growing up now
Am F Am C/B C
Who you are is not what you did, you’re still an innocent
F Am C/B C F
You’re still an innocent
Am C/B C F
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Am C/B C F
Lost your mind trying to get it back
