Henry Moodie - The Old Me

[Intro]
C C Gm G
 
 
[Verse 1]
C CEvery headline, every deadline feels so serious these days
Gm GEvery expectation seems too hard to face
C CAll the pressure used to never take ahold of me this way
Gm GOh, I miss my innocence, it felt so safe
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C C'Cause those monsters under my bed became the ones in my head
C Gm GNow, the grass ain't so green and I'm not as naive as the old me
 
 
[Chorus]
CI used to dream of gеtting older
CNow, I wish I could Go back
Gm'Cause all this weight is on my shouldеrs
GNever used to feel like that
CTell me, have you seen the old me?
CThe guy who's always drunk on life
Gm'Cause I've been trying to find him lately
G CTo see a better future through his eyes
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
COh, oh, oh
GmOh, oh, oh-oh
C GOh-oh, oh-oh
 
 
[Verse 2]
C CWhere's the wide-eyed, confident guy with a grin upon his face?
Gm GWhere's the optimist I was at half this age?
C CI miss my daydreams, miss my preteens, miss my stupid young mistakes
Gm CThough I know that I'm still in the good old day-ay-ays
 
 
[Chorus]
CI used to dream of gеtting older
CNow, I wish I could Go back
Gm'Cause all this weight is on my shouldеrs
GNever used to feel like that
CTell me, have you seen the old me?
CThe guy who's always drunk on life
Gm'Cause I've been trying to find him lately
G CTo see a better future through his eyes
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
COh, oh, oh
GmOh, oh, oh-oh
C GOh-oh, oh-oh
 
 
[Outro]
Gm C CThose monsters under my bed became the ones in my head
