  C
Slept the days away
                                    F
When I was waiting and no one was around
To be interesting
        C
And I tried to find a way
                                      F
To follow footsteps away from my hometown
I wasn't listening

Em                          F
My heart's beating so you know I'm alive
            Em                       G
Don't hold back on your chance to decide

Chorus:
            C
Was it all worth it?
                               G        F
(I'll build the highest bridge only to burn it)
            C
Was it all worth it?
                            G    F
(All the love you gave when I returned it)
        F
Oh I returned it
             Em                     F
You know I think about it now and then
            Em                       F    G
I bet you thought that I would start it again

Counting down the days
Until we leave and move on to the next town
I'm in that state of mind
Where I bottle everything inside my head
And stare at the ground
But it's gonna be just fine because

My heart's beating so you know I'm alive
Don't hold back on your chance to decide

Chorus

Am                          G
I'm not afraid of what I'm worried, worried about
C                   F               Em
Can't stomach the thought of an endless doubt
Am                            G                 F
I'm not afraid when I've got something left to give
               E/G#
So I want to know

Chorus:
Was it all worth it?
(I'll build the highest bridge only to burn it)
Was it all worth it?
(All the love you gave when I returned it)
Oh I returned it
[Chorus 1]
Was it all worth it?
(I'll build the highest bridge only to burn it)
Was it all worth it?
(All the love you gave when I returned it)
Oh I returned it
You know I think about it now and then
I bet you thought that I would start it again
