  In the pointless conversations with the old me

Am
  Look, as a kid I used to think life
G
  Is moving so slow, I watch it go by
C
  Look out the window on my bus ride
F
  I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes
Am
  I've always tried to control things
G
  In the end that's what controls me
C
  Maybe that's why I'm controllin'
F
I wish somebody woulda told me

Am
The older I get, I feel like I'm always tryna save time
G
Talkin' to the voices in my head, they make me think twice
C                                                            F
Tellin' me it doesn't mean it's wrong because it feels right
Am
I'm scared that one day I wake up and wonder where the time go
G
Talk about the past like it's the present while I rock slow
Em
I'll sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own
F
And tell 'em

                Am                                     G
If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain

If you want love, if you want love
