Bm A D It was a big, big world, G But we thought we were bigger, Pushing each other to the limits, A Bm We were learning quicker, A D By eleven smoking herb G And drinking burning liquor, Never rich so we were out A To make that steady figure. Chorus: Bm A D Once I was eleven years old, G My daddy told me, “Go get yourself a wife A Or you’ll be lonely”, Bm A D Once I was eleven years old. Instrumental: Gmaj Gmaj Gmaj Gmaj Bm A D I always had that dream G Like my daddy before me, So I started writing songs, A Bm I started writing stories. A D Something about that glory, G Just always seemed to bore me, ‘Cause only those I really love A Will ever really know me. Chorus: Bm7 A D Once I was twenty years old, Gmaj My story got told Before the morning sun, A When life was lonely, Bm7 A D Once I was twenty years old. Gmaj (Lukas Graham!) Bm A D I only see my goals, G I don’t believe in failure, ‘Cause I know the smallest voices, A Bm They can make it major. A D I got my boys with me G At least those in favor And if we don’t meet before I leave, A I hope I’ll see you later. Chorus: Bm7 A D Once I was twenty years old, Gmaj My story got told, I was writing ‘bout everything, A I saw before me, Bm7 A D Gmaj Once I was twenty years old. Bm7 A D Soon we’ll be thirty years old, Gmaj Our songs have been sold, We’ve traveled around the world A And we’re still roaming, Bm7 A D Gmaj Soon we’ll be thirty years old. Bm D I’m still learning about life, G My woman brought children for me, So I can sing them all my songs A And I can tell them stories. Bm Most of my boys are with me, D G Some are still out seeking glory, And some I had to leave behind, D My brother, I’m still sorry. Bridge: G A Bm Soon I’ll be sixty years old, A My daddy got sixty-one, Remember, life and then D Your life becomes a better one. G I made a man so happy A Bm When I wrote a letter once, F#7sus4 I hope, my children come F#7 And visit once or twice a month.
