[Intro]
  D    F#m    EmD..
[Verse]
DFull moon just a sticker on the F#mwindscreen of my car
EmAnywhere we go is home, as long as DI am where you are
We are Dsole survivors of a night
That puts out romance like F#mraindrops on a fire
EmMaybe there could be others if the Dsun was higher
[Chorus]
And Dmaybe when we're older we'll look back
On all the things we've left beF#mhind
But in the Emmeantime, we grow older
Like saplings in the forest of lost Dtime
[Verse]
DSlow down, there's a million sights
That F#mwe have left to see
We are Emliving in the moment
Which is a lot to be said for the world today, it Dseems
And I'll Dcelebrate the way you look at mF#me
And there's Emsomething special in your eyes
Of chocolate brown and forest greeDn
[Chorus]
And Dmaybe when we're older we will understand
The meaning of the wF#morld
But in the Emmeantime, we'll adventure
And our futures will unfurlD  
[Interlude]

It's Dus aCgainst the EmworlDd
It's Dus aCgainst the EmworlDd

But in the meantime, we grow older

Like saplings in the forest of lost time

And there's something special in your eyes

Of chocolate brown and forest green
