Verse 1:
C Em
Daddy went to law school and could've been an architect
D Am C/B
Now he's turnin' sixty and wonders where the big dream went
C Em
Tucker never said a lot, two eyes down, a little luck
D Am C/B
Took it to the Ivies and never really knew for what
Pre-Chorus:
C Em
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
D
Half swear to God, I might just pray
And I got a lot to lose
Am C/B
So I might as well lose it anyway
C Em
And I, I manifested you would leave
D
So the day you did, I had you beat
N.C.
Three steps ahead of everythin'
N.C.
Lately, I wake up feelin' like
Chorus:
C Em
"Oh, where does the time go "
D
You never really know
Am C/B
'Til you're standing in the bathroom mirror like
C Em
"No, shit, we got so close"
D
Hit me fast and slow
Am
Funny thing about nostalgia
C/B C Em
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
D Am C/B
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
Verse 2:
C Em
My ma wasn't raised right, oh no, all she ever knew was guilt
D Am C/B
Little did she know that's all her kids would ever grow to feel
Pre-Chorus:
C
And every choice leads back to the trait
Em
Every time that I drink and heart that I break
D
It's a truckload of regret and stupid mistakes
Am
And, man, lately I wake up feelin' like
Chorus:
C Em
"Oh, where does the time go "
D
You never really know
Am C/B
'Til you're standing in the bathroom mirror like
C Em
"No, shit, we got so close"
D
Hit me fast and slow
Am
Funny thing about nostalgia
C/B C Em
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
D Am7
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
C/B C Em
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
D Am7 C/B
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
Outro:
C Em
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
D
Half swear to God, I might just pray
And I got a lot to lose
Am C/B
So I might as well lose it anyway
C Em
And I, I manifested you would leave
D
So the day you did, I had you beat
Am7 C/B
Three steps ahead of everythin
