  			             Am 
Shout out to the old me  
              Em 
And everything he showed me 
                      C  
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me 
              Am 
No one could control me  
               Em 
Left my lovers lonely 
                 C 
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me  

                Am 
Never a night alone  
                   Em 
Anywhere you wanna go  
                 C 
Woke up in the morning wearing someone else's clothes 
                 Am 
Pictures in my phone  
                     Em 
With people I don't know  
                C 
Woke up in the morning how the hell'd I make it home  
              Am                            Em 
And they wondered how long I could keep it up 
           C 
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough  
         Am                   Em 
And I did some shit I never should have done 
     C 
I would do it over now, I'd do it over  

             Am 
Shout out to the old me  
              Em 
And everything he showed me 
                      C  
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me 
              Am 
No one could control me  
               Em 
Left my lovers lonely 
                 C 
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, ey-ey 
 Am                               Em 
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made 
  C 
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid 
                Am 
Shout out to the old me  
              Em 
And everything he showed me  
                 C 
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me  

                        Am 
Another round here we go 
                     Em 
Going in blow for blow  
                  C 
Look into the mirror take the punches that I throw  
                     Am                    Em 
I'm constantly reminded of all the compromises by the people from my  
C 
past who have a hard time letting go  
              Am                            Em 
And they wondered how long I could keep it up 
           C 
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough  
         Am                   Em 
And I did some shit I never should have done 
     C 
I would do it over now, I'd do it over, ey-ey

Am            Em 
Devil at my door 
        C 
Got me knockin' knockin' knockin' on the other side  
Am            Em 
Ashes on the floor  
         C 
But I'm walkin' walkin' walkin' outta here alive  

             Am 
Shout out to the old me  
              Em 
And everything he showed me 
                      C  
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me 
              Am 
No one could control me  
               Em 
Left my lovers lonely

Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, ey-ey 
 Am                               Em 
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
