Lyrics

Dear young er me,

where do I start?

If (Em7)I could tell you ev ’ry thing that I have learned so far, then you could be

one step a head

of (Em7)all the pain ful mem o ries still (Cmaj7)run ning through my head.

I (D)won der how much dif f’rent things would be.

Dear young er me.

Dear young er me,

I can not de cide:

do I (Em7)give some speech a bout how to (D)get the most out of your life, or do I go deep

and try to change

the (Em7)choic es that you’ll make?

’Cause they’re the choic es that made me.

And (D)e ven though I love this cra

zy life,

some (G)times I wish it was a smooth er ride.

Dear young

er me.

Dear young

er me.

(Am7)Ooh.

(Am7)Ooh.

Oh, if I knew then what I know now, the (D)con dem na tion would ’ve had no pow’r.

My (Am)joy, my pain would ’ve (G)nev er been my worth.

If I knew then what I know now, would ’ve (D)not been hard to fig ure out what I would ’ve changed

if I had heard:

Dear young er me,

it’s not your fault;

(Em7)you were nev er meant to car ry this be yond the cross.

Dear young er me.

You are ho ly, you are right eous, you are one of the re deemed.

Set a part, a brand new heart;

oh, (Cmaj7)you are free in deed.

And ev ’ry moun tain, ev ’ry val ley, through each heart ache you will see: ev ’ry mo ment brings you clos er to who (Cmaj7)you were meant to be.

Dear young er me,

yeah, young er me.

You are ho ly, you are right eous, you are one of the re deemed,

set a part, a brand new heart;

oh, (Cmaj7)you are free in deed.

You are ho ly, you are right eous, you are one of the re deemed,

set a part, a brand new heart;

oh, (Cmaj7)you are free in deed.

You are ho are free in deed.
