Golden Years Chords by Christian French

[Verse 1]
F     C               G
I can never get some rest
G
Oh-oh, oh
F          C
Staring at my ceiling
G
Thinking 'bout the weight 

that's on my chest
F          C                    G
I'm always worried 'bout what's next
          F
I think I forgot
       C               G
How to live in present tense 
(Present tense)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
      F                        
Yeah, I'm supposed to be in the 
F
prime of my life
    Am                
But all I can see are 
    G
the demons I fight
F
Try to believe that there's 

a silver lining
Am      G
I can't find it
 
 
[Chorus]
              F
I don't wanna be
         C               G
Spending all my golden years
Am                          F
Climbing all the way to the top
           C                G
So how the hell'd I wind up here
                      F
Tryna be somebody I'm not?
                C         G
I used to be a lot less jaded
                         Em
Now I'm lost and all frustrated
F       C             G
Trading happiness for tears
F
And all my golden years
 
 
[Verse 2]
F         C             G
I could a mile ahead by now
 
(Somewhere better)
F                       C      
But I'm burning all my daylight 
          G
wondering how
G
I can get there
F                           
I know I shouldn't count all of my 
C
days under the sun
G
But I don't wanna blink and then 

I wake up and it's gone
     F                        
I never really got to be the 
  C                  G
person that I wanna be
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F
Oh, oh I'm supposed to feel 

like I'm living it right
      Am
Is it all in my head?
      G
Am I wasting my time
F
Try to believe that there's 

a silver lining
Am       G
I can't find it, I don't wanna be
 
[Chorus]
              F
I don't wanna be
         C               G
Spending all my golden years
 Am                         F
Climbing all the way to the top
           C                G
So how the hell'd I wind up here
                      F
Tryna be somebody I'm not?
                C         G
I used to be a lot less jaded
                         Em
Now I'm lost and all frustrated
F       C             G
Trading happiness for tears
F
And all my golden years
 
 
[Bridge]
F      C      G
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
     Am
And all my golden years
F      C      G
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
              F
I don't wanna be
         C               G
Spending all my golden years
Am                          F
Climbing all the way to the top
           C                G
So how the hell'd I wind up here
                      F
Tryna be somebody I'm not?
                C         G
I used to be a lot less jaded
                         Em
Now I'm lost and all frustrated
F       C             G
Trading happiness for tears
F
And all my golden years
