[Intro]
F#m  E  D      F#m  E  A D        F#m  E  A       F#m  E  A
Took an F#mold scrapbook off a Ecloset Ashelf
F#mDusted off the cover, dusted Eoff myAself
F#mLaid it in my lap and I Eopened it Dup
To find F#mwho I am and Ewho I Awas
F#mWonder Woman cape on a Ewide eyed Agirl
F#mDreams too big for a Esmall town Aworld
F#mFaded red ribbon from my Efirst track Dmeet
F#mSecond place never was Eenough for Ame
EYou wanna win but you compromise
You Dlose yourself in Aall the lies
ETill you're someone you hardly recogDnize
[Chorus]
Oh, they Dsay you can't move forward when you're Alooking back

But I'm hoping there's some answers hidden somewhere in the past
             F#m( Ebass note)                      D( C#bass note)  Bm  
Every snapshot memory       Missing piece just might put me back together
 D(ring)                       F#m   E  A  
   Help me see the bigger picture
F#mWhite corsage, Esenior Aprom
F#mChristmas from the year that I Elost my Amom
F#mWedding day, waving from the Eback of a Dcar
Before F#mbroken vows and Ebroken Ahearts
Now I'm Etime and tears and years removed from a Dworld of hurt I Acan't undo
ELost and searching for some kinda Dclue
[Chorus]
Oh, they Dsay you can't move forward when you're Alooking back

Am I strong enough to turn another page?
