Intro:  C - Am/D - Fmaj7 - Gsus4


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


Verse 2:

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


Chorus 1:

       Fmaj7
It was worth it
                             C       Gsus4
These are the lines that you're made of
       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


Mid:  C - Am/D - Fmaj7 - Gsus4


Verse 3:

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

   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
