Verse 1

[D]Things [Em]I pra[C]yed f[G]or when [D]I was yo[Em]ung
That my f[C]ather would l[G]ove me like [D]his only [Em]son
That my [C]mother would be p[G]atient with [D]me
tha[Em]t my sister would [C]not lea[G]ve
And I[D]f m[Em]y gran[C]dpa could see [G]me bey[D]ond his gr[Em]ave
That he'd th[C]ink his little[G] man was s[D]o grea[Em]t
That my ha[C]ir would not stick [G]up in weird p[D]lace[Em]s
And I'd be so[C]meone so[G]meday

Chorus:

[C]Years go by so e[D]asily that som[Em]etimes I fo[C]rget
[C]Years go by and [D]make me see that t[Em]here's no time for m[A]y regret
No time for [C]my regret

Verse 2:

[D]Things [Em]I pra[C]yed f[G]or i[D]n my t[Em]eens
That G[C]od would forg[G]ive all my[D] evil d[Em]eeds
That my fa[C]ther and my s[G]ister would come ho[D]me
And m[Em]om could meet our[C] need[G]s
And [D]If [Em]my gran[C]dpa could s[G]ee me bey[D]ond his g[Em]rave
That he'd s[C]ay a pr[G]ayer for his f[D]amily's [Em]sake
That my h[C]air would stick [G]up in weird p[D]laces[Em]
And I'd be so[C]meone som[G]eday

Verse 3:

[D]Things I p[Em]ray for n[C]ow in my t[G]wenties
[D]That God would still l[Em]ove me and D[C]ad would like his [G]new family
That [D]I could hug my s[Em]ister that my m[C]om could r[G]est
That my [D]wife would still [Em]melt every t[C]ime we k[G]iss
And i[D]f m[Em]y gran[C]dpa has se[G]en me bey[D]ond his gr[Em]ave
How [C]cold and si[G]lent he h[D]as rema[Em]ined
That my ha[C]ir would not fall[G] out in weir[D]d pl[Em]aces
And I'd be so[C]meone s[G]omeday
