[Verse 1]
D Cmaj7
I’ve been afflicted by the scorn of young believers
G A7
I never meant to go this way
D Cmaj7
Have I always been a hopeless romantic?
G A7
Or did I just change one fateful day

So, tell me sweetheart, what’s the story
G F
Did you know me back then?
Am7 Fmaj7 Dm
Was I a mess, did I live in chaos as I do now
F
Or was I zen?
[Verse 3]

[Verse 4]
G Am
I know I raise my hands to the sky and lower my voice

So, I can whisper sweet nothings in yr. ear
G Am
But I swear to the sweet lord above I’ve always been this way
Em C
And only just realize how painful it can be
