G
Life slow down
                 C
You've gone too fast
     Am      D      C             G
And words begin to mean a little less

Bones stay strong
Cause the road ahead is long
And every voice will miss us when we’re gone

Chorus:
                                                G
Take a portrait, 25 let me hear you singing it out
                      C
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
                           G
Let me hear you singing it out
                      C
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Skin don’t stretch
It’s way too new
And those who look back are only the fools

Chorus:
Take a portrait, 25 let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Yeah I’m singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Years don’t come too soon
And days be long and light
Future you can wait
Cause time’s still on our side

Chorus:
Take a portrait, 25 let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Let me hear you singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Yeah you’re singing it out
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

           G    G/F#
Oh sing it out
         C            G  G/F#
You're free to come alive
         C             G   G/F# C G
