Verse 1:
F
I thought it would be like poetry
       Bb         C          F
That feeling of when eyes meet
F
They said it would feel so easy
       Bb         C             F
Like how a bird takes to the trees
F
They've written the songs and films and books
   Bb              C              F
Of how it would take just one timely look
Am                      Dm       F
To dance and fall your way into love
       Bb               C             F
And that's how you'll know he's the one

Chorus:
Am                      F
It feels like way back when

There's no such thing as a soulmate
        Am               Dm     F
'Cause love is what you make of it
   Bbm                Am     Dm
I think I've got a taste of it
   F           Bb            Bb    Bb
I wish I had known all of this before
   C
I wish I had known
         Bb
But at least
       F
Now I know

Verse 2:
F
I thought summer vacation would never end
       Bb                 Dm          Am
That feeling of sinking toes in the sand
      F       A         Dm       F
They said to enjoy it while you can
     Am                 Dm       F
But those words never seemed to land

   F           A       Dm

   Am                Dm        F
That time is the quickest of thieves
     Am                      Dm F
She won't ever be caught by nobody
 Bb                 Am     Dm
She'll run all the way to eternity

I wish I had known it then
      Am                        Dm     F
That soon we'll be gone with a final breath
      Am                    Dm         F
And there won't be time to hold onto regrets
    Bb                                Am   Dm
But I know there's something on the other end
