[Intro]
Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2
h Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2



[Verse 1]
G6sus2
Are you gonna
call me in the
orning?
Dsus2
'Cause I noticed
 the look in
your eyes
G6sus2
When our hands
touched,
glancing like
Bm11
Boxers fighting
        Dsus2
for championship
 prizes
G6sus2
I was just
 looking
      Bm11
for a good
time, I
Dsus2
Never thought
    Em7
I'd find it

[Verse 2]
    G6sus2
But I'll be back
Bm11
on the 9 to
G6sus2     Dsus2
5 grind tomorrow
Dsus2
Times is hard
DM7sus2
and the bills are
due
G6sus2
I can barely make
 ends meet
Bm11
I can't take
Dsus2
care of you, so
G6sus2
Oh I know we've
 had a good ride
Bm11
But there's no
Dsus2       Em7
pressure to follow
through


[Interlude]
G6sus2  Dsus2


[Chorus]
G6sus2
'Cause I've never
 crossed the ocean,
I've
Dsus2
Only stood barefoot
on the shore
G6sus2
Never been to
Memphis
Bm11
but I swear I
Dsus2
will someday,
 and if I,
G6sus2
If I'm being
honest
 I've
Dsus2
never been in
 love
before, I've
Em7
Just been
chasing
 shadows
G6sus2
Praying that
   Dsus2
it waits for me


[Interlude]


Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2


[Verse 2]
G6sus2
And you're not
 gonna call me in
 the morning
Dsus2
That's all right,
dear, it's no
surprise
G6sus2
Plus I heard
you got
a girl back
home
Dsus2
She must have
 slipped
 your mind while
G6sus2
We were out having a
      Bm11  Dsus2
good time          And
G6sus2
These things always
 happen without warning
Dsus2
In the morning you
 won't know my name
G6sus2     Bm11
Always the spark,
          Dsus2
never the flame


[Chorus]
G6sus2
'Cause I've
never
 crossed the
ocean
Dsus2
I've only stood
 barefoot on the
 shore
G6sus2
Never been to
Memphis
Bm11
but I swear I
Dsus2
will someday,
 and if I
G6sus2
If I'm being
honest
     Dsus2
I've never
been in
love before,
 I've
Em7
Just been
chasing
 shadows
G6sus2
Praying that
   Dsus2
it waits


[Bridge]
Dsus2
And
Em7     G6sus2
I-I-I-I-I can be
 alone
Dsus2    DM7sus2
a little longer if
it means
G6sus2
That love is rising
 like the
Dsus2
dawn to shine on
 Em7  G6sus2
 me
G6sus2
I'm running on,
Dsus2
life ain't half as
DM7sus2
long as it
  | h Em7 G6sus2
seems
G6sus2
And it's not
      Dsus2
gonna wait for me

[Final Chorus]
G6sus2
I'm gonna cross the
ocean,
Dsus2
swim 'til I lose
 the
shore, I've
G6sus2
Never been to
Memphis
Bm11
but I'm on my
Dsus2
way, and I-I-
G6sus2
I'm just being
honest,
         Dsus2
no, I've never been
 in love before
         Em7
But I've seen its
shadow
G6sus2 Dsus2
        Em7
Oh I've seen
its shadow
G6sus2 Dsus2
Yes I've
Em7
seen its shadows
G6sus2
Praying that it
Dsus2
waits for
Bm11 G6sus2 Dsus2
me

These are the chords for Younger Days by Joy Oladokun on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
       G                    Am
In my younger days I was a fighter
       C                       G
In my younger days I felt the fire
              G
Things didn't go my way
              Am
I'd strike a match and turn my back
              C
You'd be surprised by how
                        G
many bridges I've burned
       G
In my younger days I'd love
          Am
and then leave 'em
           C
Because I was afraid I
                           G
wouldn't know how to keep 'em
              G
I'd trade my freedom for
                 Am
a steady hand now
       C
But I wouldn't trade the
                 G
lessons I learned

For the children I might never have

What's a purpose?
                 Am7
Tell me why do I need one?
          C

ain't working out too bad

In my younger days
