verse 1 
             Em7 
I am not so sure, I am not so brave 
                 Cmaj7 
You are not so broken, you cannot be saved 
               D5/A 
We are just affection, thrown out in all directions 
                   Em7 
We cannot take it back, can you picture that? 
                Em7 
This is all we have, this is all we need 
                Cmaj7 
Life is like a circle coming back to me 
                  D5/A 
This will not be easy, this will not be safe 
              Em7                 
Nothing ever feels that way no more 

           Cmaj7        Em7 
Yeah, but once we were young 
        D5/A                     Em7 
We were beautiful and we were strong 
                    Cmaj7                Em7 
We didn't think too hard of what would come 
               D5/A                    Em7 
'Cause we were beautiful when we were young 

verse 2 
                            Em7 
Well, I'm somewhere in the moment, I ain't lost, I own it 
               Cmaj7 
I see what it can be, the proof is all around me 
                     D5/A 
Second thoughts and doubt turn me inside out 
                 Em7 
The innocence I lack, can you picture that? 
        Em7 
So you call on the devil but the devil don't come 
                                                   Cmaj7 
You call on yourself 'cause you never need no one else 
                                                               D5/A 
Like this is the last time, like you've been lost inside your mind 
                                           Em7 
Fighting all this time, your memories are kind 
               N.C. 
Living life in rewind 

                  Cmaj7        Em7 
Just reminds you once we were young 
        D5/A                     Em7 
We were beautiful and we were strong 
                    Cmaj7                Em7 
We didn't think too hard of what would come 
        D5/A                    Em7 
We were beautiful when we were young 
            D5/A                     
Oh, we were beautiful when we were young
