Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Repeated D

Years from now you'll hear this song and probably laugh

You'll have learned, and you'll think you can do better

And lord knows you probably will

And lord knows I hope you will

Years from now someone will break your little heart

It'll sting, but don't let it callous over

The first cut stings the most

The first cut always stings the most

Years from now, when what they taught you all seems strange

Don't despair, the stranger it gets the better

It's the fear that could drag you down

Don't let your fear come along and drag you down

Years from now, they'll promise pleasure, pills and wine

Go on try them all, but make sure your mama knows you love her

Lord knows you probably will

Lord knows I hope you will

I hope you will

Years from now Jesus may keep you up at night

If he's still around I doubt he really means to scare you

I think he's misunder- -stood

Don't you hate being misunder- -stood?

I hate being misunder- -stood

I hate being misunder- -stood

Years from now you'll hear this song and probably laugh

You'll have learned, and you'll think you can do better

And lord knows you probably will

And lord knows I hope you will
