Verse 1:
            F#m
I am not so sure, I am not so brave
                 D
You are not so broken you cannot be saved
               E
We are just affection thrown out in all directions
                  F#m
We cannot take it back, can you picture that?
               F#m
This is all we have, this is all we need
                D
Life is like a circle coming back to me
                 E
This will not be easy, this will not be safe
              F#m
Nothing ever feels that way no more

Chorus:
          D            F#m
Yeah, but once we were young
         E                      F#m
We were beautiful and we were strong
                     D                  F#m
We didn't think too hard of what would come
         E                      F#m
We were beautiful when we were young


Verse 2:
                            F#m
Well, I'm somewhere in the moment, I ain't lost, I own it
               D
I see what it can be, the proof is all around me
                     E
Second thoughts and doubt turn me inside out
                 F#m
The innocence I lack, can you picture that?
        F#m
So you call on the devil but the devil don't come
                                                  D
You call on yourself 'cause you never need no one else
                                                               E
Like this is the last time, like you've been lost inside your mind
                                          F#m
Fighting all this time, your memories are kind living life in rewind just reminds you
