🎸 Verse 1:
        G
Who I was three years ago
             Cadd9             G
Would have a crush on me today
           C             D7sus2
She'd take secret videos
                     G
From the back of the house
             D
While I'm on stage
    Am                   D
Ask "who did your tattoos "
               G    B7     Em
And "If you're ever in the mood
C

I'd love to take you out so
                             D
I can learn a thing or two."


🎸 Verse 2:
      G
Who I am today would think
      Cadd9                G
That 21-year old was sweet
         C                  D7sus2
I'd indulge her bright-eyed inquiries
    G                 D
And wouldn't tell her she's naive
                Am              D               Em
And though she'd think I had it all figured out
            C                G                   D
I'd let her know I'm full of headaches, fear and doubt
            C              D
But I'd say "thank you for reminding me
     G          B7      Em
What this whole thing's about.
             C               D                  G
I guess I've grown a lot and you have showed me how."


🎸 Chorus:
      C      D                 G    G/F#
I get caught up in the forward crawl
     C              D            G   G/F#
I forget to see the beauty of it all
     C                D
They say just be yourself
             G        B7      Em
Well they forget that order's tall
                    A7
I'm still trying to find it
         C                D
But this slightly younger self helps me recall


🎸 Interlude:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
G Cadd9 G


🎸 Verse 3:
                G
Well who I'll be three years from now
               Cadd9          G
Will have some shit to say to me
    C               D
Relax your furrowed brow
            G            D
There ain't no reason to worry
           Am                  D
And if you feel like giving up
            G      B7             Em
You gotta remember that you're tough
                C            G                    D
Youll find your power in the tears that line your cheeks


🎸 Verse 4:
      G                                Cadd9           G
Who I am today would ask that older person for some cheats
        C        D                  G           D7sus2
But I'd secretly hope they wouldn't give any to me
          C               D                 Em
And in my fantasy they've got it figured out
              C                  G             D
And all their confidence outweighs their minor doubts
        C              D
But I'm wise enough to know that's not
     G          B7           Em
What this whole thing's about
              C                D                G   G/F#
I've got some growing left and you've showed me how


🎸 Chorus:
      C      D                 G    G/F#
I get caught up in the forward crawl
     C              D            G   G/F#
I forget to see the beauty of it all
     C                D
They say just be yourself
             G        B7      Em
Well they forget that order's tall
               A7                    B7
And they never find it, don't really mind that
           C               D                 G        B7   Em
Cause this scrappy band of all the different versions of myself
              C    D
They never fail to catch me when I fall
