Intro: A  C  G 
          A  C 

( A C G ) 
I read back over 
( A C ) 
Things that I wrote three years ago 
( A C G ) 
And now I'm ten years older 
( A C A C ) 
Time moves fast and time moves slow 

( A  C  A  C ) 

( A C G ) 
Before you'd told me 
( A C ) 
That I'd fucked up worse than none before 
( A C G ) 
You whispered that I was a better person than you 
( A C ) 
Disagreed then, I don't anymore 

A                       C 
    And what's the use 
A                       C 
I know that you're just sore to lose 
A                                            C        G       A 
'Cause I was never half as bad as you as bad as me 
G                                   C 
Being real not being being mean 

( C ) 

( A C G ) 
You tried to twist it 
( A C ) 
I tried to fix it more than you could ever know 
( A C G ) 
To do things right and be your friend and make it right 
( A C ) 
Find a thread that I could start to sew 

A                       C 
    And what's the use 
A                       C 
I know that you're just sore to lose 
A                                            C        G       A 
'Cause I was never half as bad as you as bad as me 
G                                   C 
Being real not being being mean 

A                                           C       G      A 
You're old enough to know the difference between 
G                                   C 
Being real and being mean 
G                                   C 
Being real not being mean
