[Intro]
C G/B Am7 Dm7 G
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am7
Take it from an old man
Dm7 G
Times just sand slippin’ past
C G/B Am7
We wanna hold it in our hands
Dm7 G
But no one ever sees what falls through the cracks
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am7
Take it from an old man
Dm7 G
My mistakes have made me
C G/B Am7
And i am what i am
[Chorus]
Dm7 E7
And though i don't believe in silver linings
Am F
I believe there's something in you
C Em7
Something good is trying to break through
Am F
You might have to fight the good fight
D7 F
And when you think you can't you can
G C
Take it from an old man
[Verse 3]
C G/B Am7
Take it from an old man
Dm7 G
The days don't stretch any longer
C G/B Am7
They've left tracks upon my skin
Dm7 E7
But i reckon made me stronger
Am F
But I believe there's something in you
C Em7
Something you should be seeing to
Am F
Bet it all on yourself at least one time
D7 F G Am F C E7
Cause honey win or lose it's one hell of a ride
[Chorus]
Am F
And if you lack the strength of your own
D7 F
Honey hold out your hands
G C
And take it from an old man
[Outro]
C
