C   G   D   G
[Verse]
C               G      C              G
 I wish I could back up and start all over
C                   G     C                D
 Cause now I'd know better the best way to love her
C                  G        C                 G
 The words I would tell her, the time I would give her
C               G      D              G
 I wish I could back up and start all over
[Chorus]
C               G     C                        G
 Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
C               G    Am                  D
 It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
C               G      B7             Em
 It changes the reasons you wanted to hold her
C               G      D              G
 I wish I could back up and start all over
[Verse]
C               G      C              G
 I wish I could back up and start all over
C                G      C             D
 I'd make the first time feel like forever
C             G   C                      G
 Not to be younger may be just to be smarter
C               G      D              G
 I wish I could back up and start all over
[Chorus]
C               G     C                        G
 Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'

 It softens the edges of memories you're towin'

 It changes the reasons you wanted to hold her

 I wish I could back up and start all over

 I wish I could back up and start all over
C               G      C                      D
 Days I would take back nights I'd wanna make longer
C               G      C                   G
 Moments I'd never just throw over my shoulder
C               G      D              G
 I wish I could back up and start all over
[Bridge]
C               G       C            G
 But it's never too late to wanna do better
C             G    Am                     D
 Love's never easy, changes just like the weather
C               G      B7                  Em
 Some days it's raining some are sunny and blue
C              G      C                         D
 There's never perfect but there's faithful and true
[Solo]

 Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
C               G    Am                  D
 It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
C               G      B7             Em
 It changes the reasons you wanted to hold her
C               G      D              G
 I wish I could back up and start all over
[Outro]

 I wish I could back up and start all over
