       F#m             B
I only wanted to have fun
              E               A
Learning to fly, learning to run
         F#m                 G#
I let my heart decide the way
           C#m
When I was young
      C#7   F#m                   B
Deep down I must have always known
                   E         A
that this would be inevitable
            F#m                   G#
To earn my stripes I'd have to pay
             C#m
and bare my soul

Chorus:
           F#m             B
I know I'm not the only one
        E                       A
who regrets the things they've done
                 F#m              G#
Sometimes I just feel it's only me
                       C#m
who can't stand the reflection that they see
   C#7          F#m              B
I wish I could live a little more
                 E                 A
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
               F#m               G#
I feel like my life is flashing by
              C#m
and all I can do is watch and cry
   C#7     F#m              B
I miss the air, I miss my friends
           E                    A
I miss my mother; I miss it when
            F#m              G#
Life was a party to be thrown
               C#m B    A  G#m C#m
But that was a million years ago

When I walk around all of the streets
Where I grew up and found my feet
They can't look me in the eye
It's like they're scared of me
I try to think of things to say
Like a joke or a memory
But they don't recognize me now
In the light of day

Chorus:
I know I'm not the only one
Who regrets the things they've done
Sometimes, I just feel it's only me
Who never became who they thought they'd be
I wish I could live a little more
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
I feel like my life is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I miss my mother, I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a million years ago

A million years ago
