(x2)
[Verse 1]
Bb F Bb
I fall in love about once a season
C Bb F
Follow my heart, which I wear on my sleeve and
Bb F G Dm
I drive too fast 'til the sirens come screamin', "Don't take it for granted"
C F Bb F Bb F
'Cause you taught me life goes away
[Verse 2]
F
So get busy living or get busy dyin'
Bb F
I'd say I forgive you, but then I would be lyin'
F
It's been sixteen years and your mother's still cryin'
G7 C F C Dm
Don't you feel guilty? I'm just saying it how it is
[Chorus]
Dm F Dm C Dm
God only knows what we lost that day in the snow
Bb F Dm7 C Gm7
Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show
Bb F
But you were only eighteen
C Gm7
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
C F Bb F Bb
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever bе
[Verse 3]
F Bb F Bb
And your poor little brother, you put him through it
F Bb F
Only thirteen when hе watched you do it
F F
And it makes me so mad to think, you probably knew it
G Bb
I hope you both know that little boy still found his way
[Chorus]
Dm F Dm C Dm
God only knows what we lost that day in the snow
Bb F Dm7 C Gm7
Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show
Bb F
But you were only eighteen
C Gm7
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
C F C Dm Bb F Dm C Dm Bb F Dm Gm7
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever bе
[Outro]
Bb F
You were only eighteen
C Gm7
But it's hard to let go of ancient history
C F
Now I'm twice the age you'll ever be
F Bb F Bb F
I fall in love about once a season
Follow my heart, which I wear on my sleeve and
I drive too fast 'til the sirens come screaming
Don't take it for granted
'Cause you taught me life goes away
So get busy living or get busy dying
I'd say I forgive you, but then I would be lying
It's been 16 years and your mother's still crying
Don't you feel guilty?
I'm just saying it how it is
God only knows what we lost that day in the snow
Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show
But you were only 18
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever be
Your poor little brother, you put him through it
Only 13 when he watched you do it
And it makes me so mad to think, you probably knew it
I hope you both know that little boy still found his way
God only knows what we lost that day in the snow
Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show
But you were only 18
Just a couple of kids, it's only now I see
'Cause I'm twice the age you'll ever be
You were only 18
But it's hard to let go of ancient history
Now I'm twice the age you'll ever be
