Verse 1:
                          Bb
They'd ask you what you'd like

And you'd say "What my sister's having"
         Bb 
Same new bike

Same new shoes

When you were 4, and I, 6 or 7
       Gm
Always right in your eyes and
                       F           Eb
Oh, I led the way with pride those years ago
             Bb
It turned to night

Close out the door

Curl up in bed
                 Bb 
But leave on the light

We'd read books
                              Gm
You'd read yours and I'd read mine
                                    F      Eb
But I'd help you with the words you didn't know

Pre-chorus:
            Gm             F            Eb
Oh, I still see you at the edge of your bed
          Gm                 F             Eb
With your freckles and those curls on your head

Chorus:
                    Bb
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
                       F
And for the most part I'm just proud
      Gm                                   F                        Eb
But I guess a part of me just thought it'd always be the other way around
                    Bb
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
                            F
I guess I thought I knew it all
    Gm                             F                                   Eb
I'm sorry I'm just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small

Verse 2:
                            Bb
They'd ask you "What's your name?"

And you'd look at me and you'd stand behind
             Bb 
See you were shy

The year that you were turning 7, I was 9
             Gm
But you soon grew to be quite talkative

And grew to be quite sure
F Eb
  Doesn't seem all that long ago when were both sat on the floor
             Bb
When we drew pictures of the places that we'd visit in our dreams
             Bb 
Turned in to stories

Then to poems

When you were 12, and I, 14
           Gm
The year I realised I wasn't always right

And that one hurt
  F      Eb
I always thought that I knew more

And that was just the way it worked

Pre-chorus:
                Gm             F            Eb
Because I still see you at the edge of your bed
          Gm                 F             Eb
With your freckles and those curls on your head

Chorus:
                    Bb
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
                       F
And for the most part I'm just proud
      Gm                                   F                        Eb
But I guess a part of me just thought it'd always be the other way around
                    Bb
I never thought I'd learn so much from you
                            F
I guess I thought I knew it all
    Gm                             F                                   Eb
I'm sorry I'm just not as great as both of us had thought when we were small

Verse 3:
               Eb
Now I know I'm probably sounding selfish
      F
Oh, I probably sound a fool
          Bb                Bb                   Gm           F
'Cause of course I want the whole world wide and open for you too
Eb                          F
I was just much better as a younger older sister
  Bb              Bb             Gm            F
I hope that it's okay that for a moment I just missed her
      Eb           F
But I know how far you'll go
                Bb Bb   Gm F
I don't know it all
                Eb
But I know it's lovely who we are
       F                            Bb
Though lovely who were when we were small
