C#m                         E   A  C#m
I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your war path
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind trying to get it back

B         C#m        A                B
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
         C#m     A                B
Always a bigger bed, to crawl into
          C#m    A
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
B               C#m        A
And everybody believed in you

Chorus:
E
It's alright, just wait and see your,
B                                       C#m
String of lights are still bright to me, oh
                                   A
Who you are is not what you've been,
                     C#m E A
You're still an innocent
                     C#m E A
You're still an innocent

Did some things you can't speak of
But at night you live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you know now then

Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catching days?
When everything out of reach
Someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep
Before the monsters caught up to you?

Chorus:
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32 and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

C#m
Time turns flames to embers,
B
You'll have new September's
A
Everyone of us has messed up too, ooh
C#m
Lines change like the weather,
B
I hope you remember
A
Today is never too late to..
         C#m E A    C#m E A
Be brand new,    Oohohohoh

Chorus:
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32 and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent, you're still an innocent

Lost your Balance on a tightrope, ohoh
It's never too late to get it back
