[Verse 1]
Bb F Bb
I fall in love about once a season
C Bb F
Follow my heart, which I wear on my sleeve and
Bb F G Dm
I drive too fast ‘til the sirens come screamin’, “Don’t take it for granted”
C F Bb F Bb F
‘Cause you taught me life goes away

So get busy living or get busy dyin’
Bb F
I’d say I forgive you, but then I would be lyin’

It’s been sixteen years and your mother’s still cryin’
G7 C F C Dm
Don’t you feel guilty? I’m just saying it how it is

[Chorus]
Dm F Dm C Dm
God only knows what we lost that day in the snow
Bb F Dm7 C Gm7
Martyrs before you got started, you missed the whole show
Bb F
But you were only eighteen
C Gm7
Just a couple of kids, it’s only now I see
C F Bb F Bb
‘Cause I’m twice the age you’ll ever bе

[Verse 3]

And your poor little brother, you put him through it

I hope you both know that little boy still found his way

[Chorus]

God only knows what we lost that day in the snow

‘Cause I’m twice the age you’ll ever bе

But it’s hard to let go of ancient history

Now I’m twice the age you’ll ever be
