Verse 1: 
 
C           Am/D         Fmaj7 
When I was, oh, just nineteen 
        Gsus4                       C 
Fell in love, I didn't know what it means 
      Am/D            Fmaj7 
To be good to someone else 
           Gsus4               C 
To build a world bigger than myself 
             Am/D                Fmaj7 
So learned it, yeah, I learned it 
           Gsus4            Am        Am/G   Fmaj7 
And I'd do anything just to have that back

C           Am/D       Fmaj7 
When I was, oh, twenty two 
         Gsus4             C 
I had to burn everything I knew 
      Am/D            Fmaj7 
It took me years to understand 
     Gsus4               C 
Sacrifice makes a better man 
                 Am/D             Fmaj7 
So I've earned it, and I earned it 
           Gsus4            Am        Am/G 
And I'd do anything just to have that back 
        Fmaj7 
But you can't go back

       Fmaj7 
It was worth it

       Fmaj7 
It was certain 
                           C     Gsus4 
Time that was lost could be made up 
   Am            Fmaj7                C 
If life hits you fast there's no take backs 
              Gsus4 
But there's a grace in that 
       Fmaj7 
It was worth it 
                             C       Gsus4 
These are the lines that you're made of

C           Am/D       Fmaj7 
When I was, oh, twenty eight 
       Gsus4              C 
Slowly turned into what I hated 
     Am/D             Fmaj7 
Everything that I put first 
            Gsus4             C 
Took what I loved and made it worse 
                Am/D             Fmaj7 
Couldn't take it, so I changed it 
          Gsus4                   Am      Am/G 
I'd seen enough to know when it's best to fight 
          Fmaj7 
When it's best to let it go
