Verse 1:
        B
Who I was three years ago
             Eadd9             B
Would have a crush on me today
           E             Gb7sus2
She'd take secret videos
                     B
From the back of the house
             Gb
While I'm on stage
    Dbm                   Gb
Ask "who did your tattoos?"
               B    Eb7     Abm
And "If you're ever in the mood,
            E
I'd love to take you out so
                             Gb
I can learn a thing or two."

Verse 2:
      B
Who I am today would think
      Eadd9                B
That 21-year old was sweet
         E                  Gb7sus2
I'd indulge her bright-eyed inquiries
    B                 Gb
And wouldn't tell her she's naive
                Dbm              Gb               Abm
And though she'd think I had it all figured out
            E                B                   Gb
I'd let her know I'm full of headaches, fear and doubt
            E              Gb
But I'd say "thank you for reminding me
     B          Eb7      Abm
What this whole thing's about.
             E               Gb                  B
I guess I've grown a lot and you have showed me how."

Chorus:
      E      Gb                 B    B  
I get caught up in the forward crawl
     E              Gb            B   B  
I forget to see the beauty of it all
     E                Gb
They say just be yourself
             B        Eb7      Abm
Well they forget that order's tall
                    Db7
I'm still trying to find it
         E                Gb
But this slightly younger self helps me recall

Verse 3:
                B
Well who I'll be three years from now
               Eadd9          B
Will have some xxxx to say to me
    E               Gb
Relax your furrowed brow
            B            Gb
There ain't no reason to worry
           Dbm                  Gb
And if you feel like giving up
            B      Eb7             Abm
You gotta remember that you're tough
                E            B                    Gb
Youll find your power in the tears that line your cheeks

Verse 4:
      B                                Eadd9           B
Who I am today would ask that older person for some cheats
        E        Gb                  B           Gb7sus2
But I'd secretly hope they wouldn't give any to me
          E               Gb                 Abm
And in my fantasy they've got it figured out
              E                  B             Gb
And all their confidence outweighs their minor doubts
        E              Gb
But I'm wise enough to know that's not
     B          Eb7           Abm
What this whole thing's about
              E                Gb                B   B  
I've got some growing left and you've showed me how

Chorus:
      E      Gb                 B    B  
I get caught up in the forward crawl
     E              Gb            B   B  
I forget to see the beauty of it all
     E                Gb
They say just be yourself
             B        Eb7      Abm
Well they forget that order's tall
               Db7                    Eb7
And they never find it, don't really mind that
           E               Gb                 B        Eb7   Abm
Cause this scrappy band of all the different versions of myself
              E    Gb
They never fail to catch me when I fall
