              Intro F#  B 
 
Verse 1:
F#                   B 
So much harder to be honest 
F#                      B 
With yourself at twenty-something 
F#                      B 
Wish I knew what I'm becoming 
              F#               B  
And felt the ground while I was on it 
 
Bridge:
C#        Ebm   Bbm   B     Bbm 
Hoping, waiting on a moment 
      C#          Ebm      C#       B 
Not knowing if it's coming or it's going 
 
 
 
            B                 Ebm              C#   Ebm  Bbm        
What if my best days are the days I've left behind? 
                 B             Ebm              C#  Ebm  Bbm  
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life? 
                    B                  Ebm 
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes 
     C#                Ebm Bbm 
You live and then you die 
         B               Ebm             C# 
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime 
          B               Ebm             C# 
Are the best days just the ones that we survive? 
 
Interlúdio 
 
B             Ebm          C# 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah, ah) 
B             Ebm          C# 
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 
 
Verse 2:
F#                          B 
If I had known to feel the fire (fire) 
F#                       B 
I would've thrown my arms up higher (higher) 
F#                       B 
Would've held on a little tighter 
                 F#                                B                                
'Cause you don't know a thing you miss 'til it's behind you 
 
 
            B                 Ebm              C#   Ebm  Bbm        
What if my best days are the days I've left behind? 
                 B             Ebm              C#  Ebm  Bbm 
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life? 
                    B                  Ebm 
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes 
     C#                Ebm Bbm 
You live and then you die 
         B               Ebm             C# 
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime 
          B               Ebm             C# 
Are the best days just the ones that we survive?
