Play that tune for the verses^^

Folk always told me that my heart would grow
The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone
Am I losing my mind?
Am I growing backwards with time?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_avett_brothers/backwards_with_time_tab.html ]
Some say with age that a purpose comes clear
I see the opposite happening here
Are we losing the fight?
Are we growing backwards with time?

Am    G         F        C
I was young and love was fun
C           G     C
Now it's so serious
Am          G       F     C
Now all the fun has equal pain
C                 F          C
There's something wrong with this
Am       G            F       C
For all I know there's more I don't
C             G      C
Oh the little I have learned
Am        G       F         C
For every year of knowledge gained
C             G         C
Is a negative year I've earned

Folk always told me that my heart would grow
The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone
Am I losing my mind?
