Verse 1:
           D#m0
8When I was younger I wish
                        B1
9that I would have known better
10Better love makes a fat romance
11lasts for more than a shoe
          F#2
12shine I'm bolder took all
                D#m3
13the words of my mother
                   B4
14Saying it could be worse
15Could be born with that disease
16Instead of catching it first
