7 Years - Lukas Graham

OnceGm I was seven years old A#

my momma told meD#, Go

make yourself some friends or you'll be loneFly

OnceGm I was seven years old A# D#

It Gmwas a big big worldA#

but we thought we were biggerD#

Pushing each other to the limits

we were learnFing quicker

By Gmeleven smoking herbA#

and drinking burning liquorD#

Never rich so we were out

to make that steadFy figure

OnceGm I was eleven years old A#, my

daddy told me D#Go get yourself a wife

or you'll be loneFly

OnceGm I was eleven years old A# D#

I aGmlways had that dreamA#

like my daddy before meD#

So I started writing songs

I started writiFng stories

SomeGmthing about that glory A#

just always seemed to bore meD#

'Cause only those I really love

will ever really Fknow me

OnceGm I was twenty years oldA# , my

story got toldD# Before the morning sun

when life was loneFly

OnceGm I was twenty years old A# D#

I oGmnly see my goals A#

I don't believe in failureD#

'Cause I know the smallest voices

they can makeF it major

I gGmot my boys with me A#

at least those in favorD#

And if we don't meet before

I leave, I hope I'll seeF you later

OnceGm I was twenty years old,A# my

story got toldD# I was writing about everything

I saw beforeF me

OnceGm I was twenty years old A# D#

SoonGm we'll be thirty years old, A#our

songs have been soldD#

We've traveled around the world

and we're still roamFing

SoonGm we'll be thirty years old A# D#

I'm Gmstill learning about lifeA#

My woman brought children for meD#

So I can sing them all my songs

And I can tell Fthem stories

MosGmt of my boys are with me

SomeA# are still out seeking glory D#

And some I had to leave behind

My brother I'm Dmstill sorry

SoonD# I'll be sixty years old, Gmmy

daddy got sixty-oneF

Remember life and then

your lifeDm becomes a better one

I mD#ade a man so happy

whenF I wrote a lettGmer once

I hDmope my children

come and visitD, once or twice a month

SoonD# I'll be sixty years old,Gm will I

think the world is coldF , Or will I

have a lot of childrDmen who can warm me

SoonD# I'll be sixty years old Gm D#

SoonGm I'll be sixty years oldA#, will I

think the world is coldD# , Or will I

have a lot of children who can warmF me

Soon GmI'll be sixty years old A# D#

OnceGm I was seven years oldA#

momma told meD# ,Go

make yourself some friends or you'll be lonFely

OnceGm I was seven years old A# D#
