verse 1  
D      N.C.          G     G/F#   Em 
        I’m older now,              
                G      G/F#   Em 
but I feel the same

I’ll sing it twice, 
                G   G/F#  Em    A 
I’ll sing it twice, 


D   N.C.           G             G/F#     Em 
    Keeping myself alive, facing down the fear, thinking 
G                 D 
What’s the big idea, and I don’t know who I  
G               G/F#        A 
am but lover cover your ears,  
                G               Em

                G               D 
you light me up with your smile
