Chords with lyrics
♫ Verse 1:
Dm A#
When I was a kid
I made a book
F C
Planning out how my future would look
Dm A#
I drew in pictures of houses with views
F C
Two swings in the backyard, one pink and one blue
Dm A#
Now that I'm older
I wish I could see
F C
A world where that still made sense to me
C
♫ Chorus:
Gm A#
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
F C
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
Gm A#
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
F C
Better than they are, taking it too far
Dm A# F C
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
Dm A# F C
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, oh
♫ Verse 2:
Dm A#
I was too young when I picked out their names
F C
Then wrote them at the top of every page
Dm A#
'Cause I didn't know I would grow up to hate
F C
The way that I look and my size and my shape
Dm A#
I wish I could make sure that they never see
F C
Themselves in the same way that I see me
F C
♫ Chorus:
Gm A#
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
F C
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
Gm A#
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
F C
Better than they are, taking it too far
Dm A# F C
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
Dm A# F C
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, oh
♫ Bridge:
Dm A#
I'll keep the book in a safe place
F C
'Cause I'm not quite ready to throw it away
♫ Chorus:
Gm A#
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
F C
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
Gm A#
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
F C
Better than they are, taking it too far
Dm A# F C
Trying to change the things I love the most about them
Dm A# F C
And I don't think I could ever stand to see that happen, oh
