Selection chords: Katie Paterson

 Intro: C Em D Am

 Verse:
  C                            Em
 Daddy went to law school and couldʼve been an architect
 D                            Am
 Now heʼs turninʼ sixty and wonders where the big dream went
   C                       Em
 Tucker never said a lot, two eyes down, a little luck
   D                       Am
 Took it to the Ivies and never really knew for what
 
 Pre-chorus:
    C                                Em
 And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
  Em                                D
 Half swear to God, I might just pray
  D
 And I got a lot to lose
        Am
 So I might as well lose it anyway
 
    C                            Em
 And I, I manifested you would leave
  Em                             D
 So the day you did, I had you beat
   D                     Am
 Three steps ahead of everythinʼ
  Am
 Lately, I wake up feelinʼ like
 
 Chorus:
   C                       Em
 "Oh, where does the time go?"
                    D
 You never really know
                                 Am
 ʼTil youʼre standing in the bathroom mirror like
   C                    Em
 "No, shit, we got so close"
  Em              D
 Hit me fast and slow
   D               Am
 Funny thing about nostalgia
  Am                     C        Em
 Didnʼt show up ʼtil I lost ya (Ooh)
                        D        Am
 Didnʼt show up ʼtil I lost ya (Ooh)
 
 Verse:
  C                                 Em
 My ma wasnʼt raised right, oh no, all she ever knew was guilt
  D                                  Am
 Little did she know thatʼs all her kids would ever grow to feel
 
 Pre-chorus:
   C
 And every choice leads back to the trait
        Em
 Every time that I drink and heart that I break
          D
 Itʼs a truckload of regret and stupid mistakes
       Am
 And, man, lately I wake up feelinʼ like
 
 Chorus:
   C                       Em
 "Oh, where does the time go?"
                    D
 You never really know
                                 Am
 ʼTil youʼre standing in the bathroom mirror like
   C                    Em
 "No, shit, we got so close"
  Em              D
 Hit me fast and slow
   D               Am
 Funny thing about nostalgia
  Am                     C        Em
 Didnʼt show up ʼtil I lost ya (Ooh)
                        D        Am
 Didnʼt show up ʼtil I lost ya (Ooh) (When I lost ya, no, ooh)
                        C       Em
 Didnʼt show up ʼtil I lost ya (Ooh)
                          D     Am
 Didnʼt show up ʼtil I lost ya (Ooh)
 
 Outro:
      C                                 G
 And now, I bite my tongue ten times a day
  G                                D
 Half swear to God, I might just pray
  D
 And I got a lot to lose
         Am
 So I might as well lose it anyway
 
      C                           Em
 And I, I manifested you would leave
 Em                              D
 So the day you did, I had you beat
 D                         Am
 Three steps ahead of everythinʼ
