• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: D#b


♫ Intro:

A#m F# C#   A#m F# C#


♫ Verse 1:
A#m         F#             C#
If I could send a letter back in time
A#m         F#         C#
To younger me in her wilder days
A#m   F#                C#
A# daydreamer with her head in the sky
    D#m7                 F#
And always learning the hard way

♫ Verse 2:
A#m7         F#               C#
I bet she'd think she knows better than me
A#m7             F#           C#
But that's just part of her charm
A#m7      F#                 C#
Nah, you couldn't tell her anything
        D#m7                     F#
Nothing stubborn as her and her heart
        D#m7                                    F#
But I'd tell her while you're reaching for the stars


♫ Chorus:
G#                        A#m
Just be careful what you wish for honey
    F#                        C#
You never know it might come true
G#                       A#m
Don't be tempted by the easy money
   F#                           C#
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
G#                             A#m7
The same thing that takes the edge off
                F#                 C#
It can take the shine off after a while
G#                            A#m7
So wear your diamonds on the inside
       F#                                          A#m F# C#   A#m F# C#
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child


♫ Verse 3:
A#m7           F#                C#
They're gonna love you for the things you do
A#m7         F#       C#
But not for who you are
A#m7         F#               C#
So don't go trading in your ride or dies
        D#m7                   F#
For the cool kids down at the bar
A#m7           F#             C#
The time will come when you fall in lust
A#m7       F#         C#
And it'll look like love
A#m7      F#                C#
Until it knocks you right down in the dust
    D#m7                       F#
But know that you'll get back up
      D#m                          F#
Yeah, know that you're more than enough


♫ Chorus:
G#                        A#m
Just be careful what you wish for honey
    F#                        C#
You never know it might come true
G#                       A#m
Don't be tempted by the easy money
   F#                           C#
It might cost more than you're willing to lose
G#                             A#m7
The same thing that takes the edge off
                F#                 C#
It can take the shine off after a while

So wear your diamonds on the inside
       F#                                          A#m F# C#   A#m F# C#
'Cause everything that glitters ain't golden, child

                               C#          A#m F# C#   A#m F# C#
Everything that glitters ain't golden, child


♫ Outro:
A#m         F#             C#
If I could send a letter back in time
A#m         F#         C#
To younger me in her wilder days
A#m          F#               C#
I'd let her know that she's doing just fine
    A#m           F#        C#
And everything's gonna be okay
