[verse 1]
G D Am Em
I wish I met you ten years ago, when I was eighteen:
C C G D
A tragic late bloomer with no sense of humor, dreaming of my gypsy queen.
Am C
You would have found me on the couch, playing with my flip phone
G D
At some house party off-campus, waiting to walk home alone.
G D Am Em
You would have offered me a pot brownie, when I imagine it now,
C C G D
And we would have talked all night and danced to the sunrise, and I would have kissed your mouth,
Am C
It would have saved us so much time, knowing it was always you
G D
On that far end of forever that I've been singing to.
C G Em D
Forever is not enough, I want a whole life through to love you
C G Em D
I wish I had junior year to disappear in your brown eyes.
C D G D Em
My first song should have been your song. My first time, should have been your arms.
C D G D Em
A life to love you. I want a whole life through to love you.
C D G Em
I want a whole life through to love you more.
C D G
I want a whole life through to love you more.
[verse 2]
G D Am Em
I wish I met you at five years old through a crack in the fence
C C G D
Back when clouds were angels and your hair was in tangles and the world was its own sacrament.
Am C
In those halcyon flashes through the hourglass sand.
G D
Now I only see in pictures when once I could have held your hand.
G D Am Em
I could have saved you from your parents' fighting. I could have joined you in the closet hiding.
C G D
You could have saved me from the predjudice and the goddamned fundamentalists.
Am C
But in the time that I have left, I will not waste the rest of these years.
G D
I want twenty Roman candles shooting; I want twin liter beers.
C G Em D
Forever is not enough, I want a whole life through to love you
C G Em D
We could have had Springsteen, swim team, and blue skies.
C D G D Em
My first song should have been your song. My first time, should have been your arms.
C D G D Em
A life to love you. I want a whole life through to love you.
C D G Em
I want a whole life through to love you more.
C D G. Em
I want a whole life through to love you more.
[outro]
C
And if we come back here,
D G
Let's find each other first.
