Where do I start

If I could tell you everything that I have learned so far

One step ahead
   Em               D               C

Dear younger me
      G
I cannot decide
   Em               D               C
Do I give some speech about how to get the most out of your life

Or do I go deep
     G
And try to change
     Em                 D                C
The choices that you’ll make cuz they’re choices that made me
D              Em            C

Oh if I knew then what I know now
D
Condemnation would’ve had no power
   Am                  G             D
My joy my pain would’ve never been my worth
Am                  G
If I knew then what I know now

Would’ve not been hard to figure out

What I would’ve changed if I had heard
