Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 2 half steps down [ -2 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 2 to stay in the same key

Intro: Dbm  B    A   Abm  Dbm

Verse:
       Gbm               B
I only wanted to have fun
            E                   A
Learning to fly, learning to run
         Gbm                  Ab
I let my heart decide the way
           Dbm
When I was young
      Db7    Gbm                   B
Deep down I must have always known
                   E        A
that this would be inevitable
           Gbm                     Ab
To earn my stripes I'd have to pay
             Dbm
and bare my soul

Bridge:
B A Dbm
 Hmmm....
B A Dbm
 Hmmm....
B A Dbm  Ab
 Hmmm....

Chorus:
           Gbm              B
I know I'm not the only one
       E                           A
who regrets the things they've done
                 Gbm               Ab
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
                      Dbm                  Db7
who can't stand the reflection that they see

               Gbm                 B
I wish I could live a little more
               E                   A
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
               Gbm                Ab
I feel like my life is flashing by
              Dbm              Db7
and all I can do is watch and cry

          Gbm              B
I miss the air, I miss my friends
          E                     A
I miss my mother; I miss it when
           Gbm               Ab
Life was a party to be thrown
               Dbm  B    A    Abm  Dbm
But that was a mi-llion years a - go

Instrumental:
Dbm  B    A     Abm  Dbm

Verse:
             Gbm                      B
When I walk around all of the streets
             E                   A
where I grew up and found my feet
           Gbm                Ab
They can't look me in the eye
                            Dbm
It's like they're scared of me
   Db7     Gbm                    B
I try to think of things to say
       E               A
Like a joke or a memory
               Gbm              Ab
But they don't recognize me now
            Dbm
In light of day

Bridge:
B A Dbm
 Hmmm....
B A Dbm
 Hmmm....
B A Dbm  Ab
 Hmmm....

Chorus:
           Gbm              B
I know I'm not the only one
       E                           A
who regrets the things they've done
                 Gbm               Ab
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
             Dbm                          Db7
who never became who they thought they'd be

               Gbm                 B
I wish I could live a little more
               E                   A
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
               Gbm                Ab
I feel like my life is flashing by
              Dbm              Db7
and all I can do is watch and cry

          Gbm              B
I miss the air, I miss my friends
          E                     A
I miss my mother; I miss it when
           Gbm               Ab
Life was a party to be thrown
               Dbm  B    A    Abm  Dbm
But that was a mi-llion years a - go

Outro:
  Dbm  B    A    Abm  Dbm
a mi-llion years a - go
