Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro: G D Em C

Verse:
      G                                 D
Every headline, every deadline feels so serious these days
      Em                            C
Every expectation seems too hard to face
        G                            D
All the pressure used to never take ahold of me this way
      Em                            C
Oh, I miss my innocence, it felt so safe

Pre-chorus:
       Am                         D                          G
ʼCause those monsters under my bed became the ones in my head
              D              Em                   C
Now, the grass ainʼt so green and Iʼm not as naive as the old me

Chorus:
          G
I used to dream of gеtting older
       D
Now, I wish I could Go back
                Em
ʼCause all this weight is on my shouldеrs
      C
Never used to feel like that
         G
Tell me, have you seen the old me?
              D
The guy whoʼs always drunk on life
                 Em
ʼCause Iʼve been trying to find him lately
   C                               G
To see a better future through his eyes

Post-chorus:
          D
Oh, oh, oh
             Em
Oh, oh, oh-oh
   D      C
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Verse:
            G                               D
Whereʼs the wide-eyed, confident guy with a grin upon his face?
            Em                          C
Whereʼs the optimist I was at half this age?
          G                                      D
I miss my daydreams, miss my preteens, miss my stupid young mistakes
         Em                                         G
Though I know that Iʼm still in the good old day-ay-ays

Chorus:
          G
I used to dream of gеtting older
       D
Now, I wish I could Go back
                Em
ʼCause all this weight is on my shouldеrs
      C
Never used to feel like that
         G
Tell me, have you seen the old me?
              D
The guy whoʼs always drunk on life
                 Em
ʼCause Iʼve been trying to find him lately
   C                               G
To see a better future through his eyes

Post-chorus:
          D
Oh, oh, oh
             Em
Oh, oh, oh-oh
   D      C
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Outro:
Am                         D                         G
Those monsters under my bed became the ones in my head
