Intro: Repeated D 
 
D Years from now you'll hear this song and probably G laugh 
You'll have D learned, and you'll think you can do G better 
And A lord knows you probably G will 
And A lord knows I hope you D will   
  
D Years from now someone will break your little G heart 
It'll D sting, but don't let it callous G over 
The A first cut stings the G most 
The A first cut always stings the D most      
  
D Years from now, when what they taught you all seems G strange 
Don't D despair, the stranger it gets the G better 
It's A the fear that could drag you G down 
Don't A let your fear come along and drag you D down 
  
D Years from now, they'll promise pleasure, pills and G wine 
Go on try them D all, but make sure your mama knows you G love her 
A Lord knows you probably G will 
A Lord knows I hope you D will   G 
I hope you D will   G 
  
D Years from now Jesus may keep you up at G night 
If he's still D around I doubt he really means to G scare you 
A I think he's misunder- G -stood 
Don't you A hate being misunder- D -stood?    G 
I hate being misunder- D -stood    G 
 
A G  
 
A I hate being misunder- D -stood    G

D Years from now you'll hear this song and probably G laugh 
You'll have D learned, and you'll think you can do G better
