All the things you thought made you strong

Now make you weak
B Am G
The very same things that used to make us laugh

Now all they make us weep
[Verse]

The very same things that used to take a day
D G D G
Now they take a week

And all the things that once were so easy to climb

They are now too steep
[Verse]

All the things that once got me so goddamn high
D G D
Now they make me grieve
B Am G
All the pills and power that my money can buy
D G D
And still I can’t sleep
[Verse]
B Am G
All the rain that won’t fall from the sky

We cannot dream
B Am G
All those tears falling from our eyes
D G D G
Rolling down our cheeks
D G D G
Rolling down our cheeks

All the things that I used to know so well

Every time I wake I stretch my arms

And I look for your hand
B Am G
I roll over, I open my eyes and I see

Every single picture on your phone

Just one less in your mind
B Am G
Every word you wrote while we sat idly by
D G D G
Yeah it’s lost somewhere in time
[Verse]
B Am G
And all the things that used to make you seem strong
D G D G
Now they make you seem weak
B Am G
All the same things that used to make us laugh
D G D G
Now they make us weep
D G D G
They make us weep
[Verse]
B Am G
All the things that I used to know so well
D G D G
Yeah I cannot understand
B Am G
And all the things that used to make me a boy
D G D G
Oh now they make me a man
[Verse]
B Am G
And every time I wake and I stretch my arms
D G D G
Looking for your hand
B Am G
I roll over and I open my eyes
D G
And I see
