F#                 B
So much harder to be honest
F#                    B
With yourself at twenty-something
F#                    B
Wish I knew what I'm becoming
              F#             B
And felt the ground while I was on it

C#     D#m   F#       B
Hoping, waiting on a moment
      C#             D#m      F#    B
Not knowing if it's coming or it's going
          C#
Mmm-mm-mm mm

Chorus:
            B                 D#m              C#  F#
What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
                 B              D#m             C#  F#
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
    C#               B                 D#m
I'm running with my eyes closed, so it goes
     C#                F#
You live and then you die
         B               D#m                C#
But the hardest pill to swallow is the meantime
         B                 D#m              C#
Are the best days just the ones that we survive?

B                    D#m                       C#  F#
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ah, ah)
B                    D#m                       C#
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

If I'd known to fuel the fire (Fire)
I would've thrown my arms up higher (Higher)
Woulda held on a little tighter
'Cause you don't know a thing you miss 'til it's behind you, mm

Chorus

Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ah, ah)
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

What if my best days are the days I've left behind?
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?

Chorus:
What if the best days are the days I've left behind?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And what if the rest stays the same for all my life?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Ooh, ooh, ooh (Ah, ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
