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
