              Am
Somedays I'm treading the water
     F                      C  G
and feel like it's getting deep
               Am
Some nights I drown in the wade
         F                    C  G
of the things that I think I need
             Am F       C     G
Sometimes I feel incomplete, yeah
               Am F    C          G
But you always say to me, say to me

Chorus:
            Am
Oh, you say someday when we're older, 
           F
We'll be shinin' like we're gold yeah,
       C                     G
Won't we? (Won't we?) Won't we? (Won't we?)
      Am
Yeah, someday when we're older
         F
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
       C             G
Be happy (Happy) Happy
            Am
Oh, you say someday when we're older
          F
We won't worry 'bout the things
               C
that we don't need
                          G
(We don't need) We don't need
      Am
Yeah, one day down the line
           F
Before we both run out of time,
               C
 you're gonna see
         .                         Am F C
That someday we'll be all that we need
 G                            Am F C G
Someday we'll be all that we need

I've been the best, been the worst
Been a ghost in a crowded room
(Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
I took a chance, took a turn
Took a dive, and it led to you
(Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
So many times that I wish
We could be anywhere but here
So many times that I wish
I could see what you see so clear, so clear

Chorus

Oh, you say someday, when we're older
We'll be shinin' like we're gold
Yeah, won't we? Won't we?
Mm, someday, down the line
Before we both run out
of time, you're gonna see
That someday, we'll be all that we need
