C#m7                           C#m      F#
     So youth's the time to be lighthearted
                                C#m
Look up at me and don't be startled
            F#         C#m
By what you see
                                 F#
I spent some time feeling so lonely
                           C#m
I was sure that was the only
            F#     E
Way I could feel
               F#             G#m
But now you're here and I am finding
                        E
Little things have me smiling
              F#   G#m
When I'm with you
B        E               G#m
I won't say it's easy to be
     F#      E               G#m
The kind of boy I think you need
 B        E                  G#m
Life is shorter than you think
   F#               E                 F#
So I hope you'll spend some time with me
   E
Oh-oh

C#m                               F#
     That you chose me was a surprise
                          C#m  C#m7
But either way it feels nice
               F#  C#m
To hold your hand
                                 F#
I won't believe every word you say
                                 C#
But I’ll listen close in my own way
          F#
Just for you

[Verse]
E              F#                  G#m
  I'm older now than I was those days
                 B             E
The past like a shadow slips away
                F#    G#m
But I won't forget

B        E               G#m
I won't say it's easy to be
     F#      E                G#m
The kind of boy I think you need
 B        E                  G#m
Life is shorter than you think
   F#               E                 F#
So I hope you'll spend some time with me
   E
Oh-oh
