[Verse 1]
   G                          C
He wonders, where the gold is there
    G                                          C
His life, now and then, it feels a little bit strange
         G                      C
All the chances, and all his mistakes
         G                               C
Well, he wonders, how can he ever make a change?

[Pre-Chorus]
         D          C                 G
And his friends say, "You're gonna be fine"
              D         C                 G
With all this hard work you put into your life
         D         C                      G
And they told him, "Sometimes it feel the same"
              D          C                          G   C G
But when they do so, man, then you'll just start to sing, hey

[Chorus]
           Em      G              C
When I was younger, my momma told me
          Em                 (D)
You will find something you love
            G                             C
Don't you worry 'bout what other people think
           Em      G               C
When I was younger, my daddy would say
       Em                 (D)
Make a sense out of your living
           G                                C
Take your time, but give it everything you have

[Verse 2]
      G                           C
She's hopeless, she never felt so low
        G                                     C
In this dark place, she doesn't know where to go, uh
        G                          C
All the downfalls and all the lost thought
                G                                 C
It doesn't make sense no more, but it goes on and on

[Pre-Chorus]
         D          C                      G
And her friends say, "Hey, you're gonna be fine"
         D             C                  G
With all this hard work you put into your life, yeah
           D         C                      G
Yeah, they told her, "Sometimes it feel the same"
              D     C                   G   C  G
But when they do so, then let go of the pain, yeah, now

[Chorus]
           Em      G              C
When I was younger, my momma told me
          Em                (D)
You will find something you love
            G                             C
Don't you worry 'bout what other people think
           Em      G               C
When I was younger, my daddy would say
       Em                 (D)
Make a sense out of your living
           G                                C
Take your time, but give it everything you have

           Em      G              C
When I was younger, my momma told me
          Em                (D)
You will find something you love
            G                             C
Don't you worry 'bout what other people think
           Em      G               C
When I was younger, my daddy would say
       Em                 (D)
Make a sense out of your living
           G                                C
Take your time, but give it everything you have
