V1: G, C, G, Em, C, Em, C, G
How I used to be sweet
I’d always write songs in G
My guitar was always somehow out of tune
I didn’t think that I was any good looking
How I used to be kind
Didn’t see anything as mine
Never once wore make up on my face
Somehow only living by the grace of total strangers
Chorus: D, C, G,
Used to be young
Used to be kind
Used to be a fool
Every single time
Em, D, Em, D, C, G
But I hope
In exchange
For my life
I have gained
A little wisdom in my eyes
V2:
How I used to be naive
Thought that everyone could see
That I wear my heart on my sleeve
For anyone to take a dig at me, anytime
Bridge Am, C, G, D
Ooh just like my banged up old guitar
I’ve mended cracks with care and love
Ooh and though we’re both a little worn
We’re stronger thanks to being torn
V3
Some say kindness makes you weak
They’ll take advantage of the meek
Give an inch and everyone will take a yard
They’ll bleed you dry and leave your heart in shards on the ground
