F C I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit F C Been saying "yes" instead of "no" F C I thought I saw you at the bus stop, F C I didn't though F C I hit the ground running each night F C I hit the Sunday matinée Dm C You know the greatest films of all time Dm C were never made F C I guess you never know, never know F C And if you wanted me, you really F should've showed C F And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow C And it's alright now Chorus: Am C But we were something, don't you think so? F C Dm Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool C And if my wishes came true Dm C It would've been you Am C In my defense, I have none F C Dm For never leaving well enough alone C But it would've been fun Dm C If you would've been the one I have this dream you're doing cool shit Having adventures on your own You meet some woman on the internet and take her home We never painted by the numbers, baby But we were making it count You know the greatest loves of all time are over now I guess you never know, never know And it's another day waking up alone Chorus Am C F C I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you Dm C If one thing had been different Dm C Would everything be different today?
