C F Am Am
(repeat throughout first verse)
[Verse 1]
C
Bend over backwards
F Am
With hands holding on tight to the swing
C
An effort so little
F Am
But we could turn the world upside down
C
Play mummies and daddies
F Am
Pretend the cat was our baby son
C
We didn't worry
F Am
'Cause all we knew was how to have fun
[Chorus]
F Am
Tattoo your name right here on my chest with your magic marker
F Am G/B
So when we hide in our hands we're invisible to all of our friends
F Am
How did we grow up so fast I thought it'd be everlasting
Ab Bb C
The only everlasting laughs are in photographs
[Verse 2]
C
Did we forget about
F Am
The child we all once used to be
C
How we could look at things
F Am
When now it's so much harder to see
C F
But still the sun and the shadows are playing in the meadows
Am G/B F
I'm holding you tight and I'm not gonna let you go
Am
Lets go back once more
[Chorus]
F Am
Tattoo your name right here on my chest with your magic marker
F Am G/B
So when we hide in our hands we're invisible to all of our friends
F Am
How did we grow up so fast I thought it'd be everlasting
Ab Bb C
The only everlasting laughs are in photographs
F Am
Tattoo your name right here on my chest with your magic marker
F Am G/B
So when we hide in our hands we're invisible to all of our friends
F Am
How did we grow up so fast I thought it'd be everlasting
Ab Bb C
The only everlasting laughs are in photographs
Ab Bb C
The only everlasting laughs are in photographs
