[Intro]
F G Am G

[Verse 1]
F                     G
 I miss the days when we
      Am
 were young and not too wise
G    F
Only doin' what felt right
     G    Am                   G
With open hearts and open eyes
F                  G
 I miss the days before
   Am
 I second guessed my life
G      F
Wasn't always asking why
G   Am                    G
I remember what it's like

[Pre-Chorus]
F
Maybe it's just too
late for the old me
G                Am
Maybe there's no point in
holding on to something closely
G               F
I should let it go,
I should let it fade
       G                Am
'Cause nothing lasts forever
                           G
and nothing stays the same

[Chorus]
          F
Why do we complicate it?
G          Am
Why do we get so jaded?
G           F
Can we just go back,
           G Am
go back to 2011?
(Can we go back?)
G         F
Why do we ruin our dreams?
G         Am
Why do we sabotage things?

[Verse 2]
F                     G
 I miss the days when we
       Am
 could live outside our heads
  G       F
Before we were our nervous wrecks
G          Am
That's the thing about regret
   G       F
We used to talk about our lives
    G       Am
And all the things we didn't have
   G    F
We fantasized about the future
    G      Am                   G
But now we dream about the past
