Verse 1:
Ab           Eb
 There was a time
       Bm              Cm
When I didn't feel this way
Ab             Eb          Bb  Cm
 Nothing could ever get me down
Ab        Eb                               Cm
And now I look back and see how times have changed
Ab               Eb     Bb
 Right before my eyes so I've found
Ab           Bb           Cm
 Cos I never thought that id be the one
Ab                 Bb   Cm
 To look back with age wishing I was young
Ab               Bb
 Cos I've always wanted
Cm
 To grow older
Ab                       Bb   Dm
 And have my mums height just reaching my shoulder
Ab           Bb
 But I can't take it
Cm
 I'm missing the time
      Ab             Bb            Cm
 Where muddy puddles were the only troubles on my mind

Chorus:
           Cm   Bb                Ab    Eb
So take me back to the days where I was young
       Cm   Bb                        Ab      Eb
When I just learnt to walk but was so keen to run
     Cm                 Bb                Ab        Eb
When relationships were just a kiss chase playground game
Bb               Bb
When I was in my own world
     Ab            Eb
When no one would change
Bb           Cm          Bb            Ab       Eb
 And take me back to the days when everyone was kind
           Cm              Bb            Ab     Eb
When there were no shadows chasing me to dim my mind
Cm             Bb
When I'm on my own sometimes
  Ab   Eb     Cm           Bb                  Ab      Eb
I wonder what life would be like if I was still younger

Interlude:
Eb Bb Ab
Eb Bb Cm

Verse 2:
Ab           Eb            Bb                  Cm
 There was a time where my mum and dad towered over me
Ab      Eb    Bb   Cm
 Giants in my sky (no, no, no)
Ab             Eb                Bb                  Cm
 And now I look back and I never thought I'd see the world from here
  Ab                Eb        Bb
I never thought I'd reach so high
Ab     Eb            Cm
 Cos I never thought I'd be the fool
Ab       Bb          Cm
 To look back to age wishing I was small
Ab               Bb    Cm
 Cos I've always wanted to grow taller
Ab         Bb        Cm
 And leave behind the disguise of being smaller
Ab       Bb
 I can't take it
Cm
I'm missing the time
     Ab                 Bb             Cm                Bb
When my neck would ache from seeing my parents in the sky


Chorus:
           Cm      Bb
So take me back to days
      Ab    Eb
Where I was young
       Cm              Eb              Ab      Eb

Cos when I'm on my own sometimes
  Ab   Eb     Cm                 Bb             Ab     Eb
I wonder what life would be like if I was still younger

 Cos I never thought that id be the guy
Eb                         Cm       F
Who forces smiles when hes so alone inside
Ab        Eb       C                Ab
 Cos I've hoped for someone listening
           Bb            Fm
But I felt eyes on me my friends watching me drifting

Ab                 Bb              Cm                     Bb
 To call out to my friends who see dead ends and the wrong choice
