Tone: [Bb]
freestar
Verse 1:
They'd ask you what you'd [Bb]like
And you'd say "What my sister's having"
Same new [Bb]bike
Same new shoes
When you were 4, and I, 6 or 7
Always [Gm]right in your eyes and
Oh, I led the way with [F]pride those [Eb]years ago
It turned to [Bb]night
Close out the door
Curl up in bed
But leave on the [Bb]light
We'd read books
You'd read yours and I'd read [Gm]mine
But I'd help you with the words you [F]didn't [Eb]know
Pre-Chorus:
Oh, I still [Gm]see you at the [F]edge of your [Eb]bed
With your [Gm]freckles and those [F]curls on your [Eb]head
Chorus:
I never thought I'd [Bb]learn so much from you
And for the most part I[F]I'm just proud
But I [Gm]guess a part of me
just thought it'd [F]always be the other way a[Eb]around
I never thought I'd [Bb]learn so much from you
I guess I thought I knew it [F]all
I'm [Gm]sorry I'm just not as great as [F]
both of us had thought when we were [Eb]small
Verse 2:
They'd ask you "What's your [Bb]name?"
And you'd look at me and you'd stand behind
See you were [Bb]shy
The year that you were turning 7, I was 9
But you soon [Gm]grew to be quite talkative
And grew to be quite sure
[F] [Eb]Doesn't seem all that long ago
when were both sat on the floor
When we drew [Bb]pictures of the
places that we'd visit in our dreams
Turned in to [Bb]stories
Then to poems
When you were 12, and I, 14
The year I [Gm]realised I wasn't always right
And that one hurt
I [F]always [Eb]thought that I knew more
And that was just the way it worked
Pre-Chorus:
Because I still [Gm]see you at the [F]edge of your [Eb]bed
With your [Gm]freckles and those [F]curls on your [Eb]head
Chorus:
I never thought I'd [Bb]learn so much from you
And for the most part I[F]I'm just proud
But I [Gm]guess a part of me just
thought it'd [F]always be the other way a[Eb]around
I never thought I'd [Bb]learn so much from you
I guess I thought I knew it [F]all
I'm [Gm]sorry I'm just not as great as [F]
both of us had thought when we were [Eb]small
Verse 3:
Now I know I'm [Eb]probably sounding selfish
Oh, I [F]probably sound a fool
'Cause of [Bb]course I want the [Bb]whole
world wide and [Gm]open for you [F]too
[Eb]I was just much better as a [F]younger older sister
I [Bb]hope that it's o[Bb]okay that for a [Gm]moment I just [F]missed her
But I [Eb]know how far [F]you'll go
I don't know it [Bb]all[Bb]all [Gm] [F]
But I know it's [Eb]lovely who we are
Though [F]lovely who were when we were [Bb]small
