[Intro] G D Am C [Verse] G D Twenty-one years, She figured it out Am She started a job C G She's feeling it out D Am Before once, it feels right C G She's feeling like the prime of her life D But all of that, Am C Is just a dream, shattered now G And everything's changed D Am With one car, and one night C It's driving through the G Prime of your life D Took your freedom Am C G There's no reason, D Just keep breathing Am C Time doesn't hear G If you ask it away [Chorus] D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Oh now your tears, G They just row with the waves D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Path that could change, G It could change in a day D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Cherish these years and G Just row with the waves D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C G Time doesn't hear, so row with the waves [Verse] D Eleven years old, my new friend Am C G Taking me in, where was I D Am He took his life N.C. Oh, I was singing in the G Prime of my life D Am C Where was I when you were calling G D Am I can't go back Am C G Time doesn't hear if you ask it away [Chorus] D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Oh now your tears, G They just row with the waves D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Path that could change, G It could change in a day D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Cherish these years and G Just row with the waves D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C G Time doesn't hear, so row with the waves [Bridge] D Am C Ooh-ooh G Living regret, or out of the future N.C. I'd rather be here, Thinking about the now N.C. 'Cause this breath could fade fast N.C. And this day could be your last [Chorus] G D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Oh now your tears, G They just row with the waves D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Path that could change, G It could change in a day D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Cherish these years and G Just row with the waves D Am La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la C Time doesn't hear, G D Am C So row with the waves [Outro] G D Am
