[Verse 1]
GI used to worry bout the sAmhadows
EmI hated knowing there was something there that I couldn't see
GI thought the monsters out my Amwindow
EmThey were waiting for me. Yea, they were waiting for me
GBut now my fears have started cAmhanging
EmNow, I'm more worried about
All of the things to come
GYea Mostly, I've been scared of Amfailing
EmI feel the weight of the world
EmIt's pushing down on me
[Pre-Chorus]
EmCause I could write every sDong and never say a thing
GI could have all I wCant, but still not what I need
EmI could hide all of my Dproblems inside a melodyC  
[Chorus]
Wish I could Ggo back to the dDay
When it was only nEmight that made me afrCaid
When it was only liGons and tigers, but now it's Dheartaches and liars
And wondering, JEmust what does the future hoCld?
Cause I don't knGowD  Em  C  
I don't knowG  D  Em  C  
[Verse 2]
GSometimes I stand out by the ocAmean
EmIt makes me notice there is something so much bigger than me
GKeep trying to come up with the aAmnswers
EmI still don't know if I can figure it out
GBut in a life made up of moments
We're all nothin but memories
EmSo much pressure on the present-
People say who you gotta be
GEmpty faces in a crowd of a people
Standing in front of me
EmIt feels like everybody's watching
[Pre-Chorus]
AmCause I could write every soDng and never say a thinCg
I could hide all of my problems inside a melody
[Chorus]
GWish I could go back to the dDay
When it was only nEmight that made me aCfraid
When it was only lGions and tigers, but now it's heaDrtaches and liars
And wondering, JuEmst what does the future Chold?
Wish I could Ggo back to the dDay
When it was only nEmight that made me afCraid

Of Dall the things I cannot control
