Nostalgia Chords by Tate McRae

C 
Daddy went to law school and 
Em
could've been an architect
D                          
Now he's turnin' sixty and 
Am                          C/B
wonders where the big dream went
C                        
Tucker never said a lot, 
Em
two eyes down, a little luck
D                        
Took it to the Ivies and 
Am                    C/B
never really knew for what
 
[Pre-Chorus]

C                                   Em
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
                  
Half swear to God, 
             D
I might just pray

And I got a lot to lose
     Am                    C/B
So I might as well lose it anyway
C                       Em
And I, I manifested you would leave
                   
So the day you did, 
          D
I had you beat
                           N.C.
Three steps ahead of everythin'
N.C.
Lately, I wake up feelin' like
 
[Chorus]

C                        Em
"Oh, where does the time go?"
                 D
You never really know
                        
'Til you're standing in 
    Am              C/B
the bathroom mirror like
C                    Em
"No, shit, we got so close"
                D
Hit me fast and slow
                  Am
Funny thing about nostalgia
       C/B      C              Em
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
                      D        Am    C/B
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
 
[Verse]

C                                
My ma wasn't raised right, oh no, 
Em
all she ever knew was guilt
D                             
Little did she know that's all 
    Am                      C/B
her kids would ever grow to feel
 
[Pre-Chorus]

C
And every choice leads back to the trait
Em
Every time that 

I drink and heart that I break
D
It's a truckload of 

regret and stupid mistakes
Am
And, man, lately 

I wake up feelin' like
 
[Chorus]

C                        Em
"Oh, where does the time go?"
                 D
You never really know
                        
'Til you're standing in 
    Am              C/B
the bathroom mirror like
C                    Em
"No, shit, we got so close"
                D
Hit me fast and slow
                  Am
Funny thing about nostalgia
       C/B      
Didn't show up 
C               Em
'til I lost ya (Ooh)
               
Didn't show up 
 D              Am7
'til I lost ya (Ooh)
       C/B      C              Em
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
                      D        Am7   C/B
Didn't show up 'til I lost ya (Ooh)
 
[Outro]

C                                   Em
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
                  
Half swear to God, 
             D

And I got a lot to lose
     Am                    C/B
So I might as well lose it anyway
C                       Em
And I, I manifested you would leave
                   
So the day you did, 
          D
I had you beat
                     Am7         C/B
Three steps ahead of everythin'
