Lyrics

I on ly (Fm)wan ted to have streets fun,

learn ing to (Eb)fly, learn ing to run.

I let my can’t (Fm)heart de cide the way it’s like when I was (Cm)young.

Deep (C7)down I (Fm)must have al ways known

that is would be (Eb)in e a vi ta ble.

To earn they my (Fm)stripes I’d have to pay

in and bear my (Cm)(Mm,

(Cm)mm.

(Cm)Mm,

(G7)mm.)

I know I’m (Fm)not the on ly one

who re grets the things they’ve done.

Some times I just (Fm)feel it’s on ly me

who can’t stand the re (Cm)flec tion they that they see.

I (C7)wish I could (Fm)live a lit tle more,

look up to the (Eb)sky, not just the floor.

I feel like my (Fm)life is flash ing by

and all I can (Cm)do is watch and cry.

I (C7)miss the (Fm)air, I miss my (Bb7)friends, I miss my mo ther, I miss it when

life was a (Fm)par ty to be thrown,

but that was a (Cm)mil (Bb)lion (Fm)years (Gm)a (Cm)go.

When I walk a (Fm)- round all of the streets fun,

where I grew (Eb)up and found my feet.

I let They can’t (Fm)look me in the eye, it’s like when I was (Cm)me.

I (C7)try to (Fm)think of things to say,

that is like joke (Eb)in e a vi ta ble.

To earn they my (Fm)re cog nize me now, in and bear my (Cm)(Mm,

(Cm)mm.

(Cm)Mm,

(G7)mm.)

I know I’m (Fm)not the on ly one

who re grets

the things they’ve done.

Some times I just (Fm)feel it’s on ly me who nev er the be (Cm)came tion they that they be.

I (C7)wish I could (Fm)live a lit tle more,

look up to the (Eb)sky, not just the floor.

I feel like my (Fm)life is flash ing by

and all I can (Cm)do is watch and cry.

I (C7)miss the (Fm)air, I miss my (Bb7)friends, I miss my mo ther, I miss it when

life was a (Fm)par ty to be thrown,

but that was a (Cm)mil (Bb)lion (Fm)years (Gm)a (Cm)go.

When I walk a (Cm)mil (Bb)lion (Fm)years (Gm)a (Cm)go.

A (Cm)mil (Bb)lion (Fm)years (Gm)a (Cm)go.
