INTRO-

Riff 2
VERSE:
Dsus2
Well my broken battered body
G5
In the days when I was younger
Dsus2
Used to fix itself quick sharp
G5
After every slip and stumble
-PRE-CHORUS:
Dsus2 Aadd9 Bm Dadd9
But these days I'm collecting scars that don't seem to fade
G Em7
Cuts and bruises that won't go away
Riff 2
Riff 2
VERSE:
Dsus2
I used to think that I
G5
Would never live past twenty five
Dsus2
When you think like that each day
G5
Is a gift if you survive
PRE-CHORUS:
Dsus2 Aadd9 Bm Dadd9
But I survived too long for my side of the deal
G Em7
But as I reach that shore I'm not sure how to feel
Riff 2
G D
Cause I keep losing days
Am
That used to take a lifetime
G D
In the blinking of an eye
G D
All these small ideas
Am
Are suddenly commitments
G D C
Greatness slips on by
G D C
Greatness slips on by

VERSE:
Dsus2
I remember well the day
G5
That I got my first tattoo
Dsus2
I was so scared before and after
G5
I was so proud when it was new
PRE-CHORUS:
Dsus2 Aadd9 Bm Dadd9
But these days I've gone and got me many more
G Em7 G
Sometimes I get more when I get bored
A7 D
One for every year I've lost
OUTRO:
A
Cause I keep losing days

That used to take a lifetime

In the blinking of an eye

All these small ideas
