about

Imagining myself as an older women and what I'd tell my younger self, reminding me of the beautiful things I've seen and what I would and wouldn't do differently.

Verse 1

I’ve seen leaves so green
| Amaj A/Dmaj | Amaj |
All the places I have been

It was not a crime

To pave your way to live your life at your prime
| A/Dmaj | Amaj |

I’ll hurt god again
| Amaj A/Dmaj | Amaj |
To go back so I don’t pretend to men
| Amaj A/Dmaj | Amaj |
It was not a crime
| Dmin | F#min |
To pave your way to live your life at your prime
| Dmin | Amaj |

Verse 3
I’ll count back from 10
| Amaj A/Dmaj | Amaj |
To trust myself and do it all again
| Amaj A/Dmaj | Amaj |
It was not a crime, no it wasn’t a crime

I’ll save more for me

I’ll cut my clothes and give myself to be
| Amaj A/Dmaj | Amaj |
It was not a crime, no it wasn’t a crime

Bridge
Perhaps we’ve been pretending
| Dmaj |
We’ve always said that we were just fine
|5/4 Dmaj Emaj |
We were Just fine
|5/4 Dmaj Emaj | 4/4 Dmaj |

I miss my own embrace
3/4 Dmaj Emaj | 4/4 Dmaj |
A mask on my hands and my hands on my face
3/4 Dmaj Emaj | 4\4 Dmaj |
I miss my own embrace
3/4 Dmaj Emaj | 4/4 Dmaj |
Mask on my hands and my hands on my face
3/4 Dmaj Emaj | 4/4 Dmaj |
Mask on my hands and my hands on my face
3/4 Dmaj Emaj | 4/4 Dmaj |
