Cmaj7She don't run from the sGun no more
Cmaj7She boxed her shadow and sGhe won
Said I can Cmaj7see you laugh
Through these boGttle caps
And this wCmaj7ire around my neck aint 
There for fGun
But sDomeday we'll all be old
And I'll be sCo damn beautiful
Meanwhile GI hide my headC

Cmaj7 G

She don't run from the sun no more

Cmaj7 G

She boxed her shadow and she won

Said I can see you laugh

Through these bottle caps

There for fun

But someday we'll all be old

And I'll be so damn beautiful

G C

Meanwhile I hide my head

Am C

Here in this paper...bag

G C

Cause if I cant see you

Am C

Then you can't see me

G C

And it'll be okay

Am C

Fly little bee....away

G C

To where theres no more rain

Am C

And I can be me

Yeah they talk about her

She smiles like shes so tough

She says

"hey can you talk a little louder,

I don't think my heart

is broken enough"

But someday we'll all be old

And I'll be so damn beautiful

Some days I wait in the indigo

Singing that song on the radio

I blame these puddles on the rain

You know I gotta keep these cheeks dry today

Gotta keep my cheating strategy

And baby I'm gonna have it made.

But someday we'll all be old

And I'll be so damn beautiful
