This is Twenty One Two's cover of 7 Years by Lucas Graham
[Intro]
Gm Bb
Once I was seven years old
[Verse 1]
Gm Bb Eb
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
F Gm
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
Bb Eb
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Cm Eb F Gm
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb
I always had that dream like my dad before me
F Gm
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Bb Eb
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
Cm Eb F Gm F
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[Chorus 1]
Eb Gm F
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
Bb Dm
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
Eb Gm F
Once I was seven years old (seven years old)
Eb Gm F
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Bb Dm
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Eb Gm F
Once I was twenty years old (twenty years old)
[Verse 3]
Gm Bb Eb
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
Bb Gm
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
Bb Cm
I got my boys with me at least those in favor
Eb F Gm F
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[Chorus 4]
Bb F Gm F
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Bb Dm
Was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me
Eb Gm F
Once I was twenty years old (twenty years old)
Eb Gm F
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
Bb Dm
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Eb Gm F
Soon we'll be thirty years old (thirty years old)
[Verse 4]
Gm Bb
I'm still learning about life
Eb
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
F Gm
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Bb Eb
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
Bb
My brother I'm so sorry
[Bridge]
Eb Gm F
Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Dm
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
Eb F Gm Dm
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[Chorus 5]
Eb Gm F
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Bb
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Eb Gm F
Soon I'll be sixty years old (sixty years old)
Eb Gm
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Bb Dm
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Eb Gm F
Soon I'll be sixty years old (sixty years old)
[Outro]
Gm Bb
Once I was seven years old
