[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
C
My Saturn has returned
C
When I turned twenty-seven
Dm7 G
Everything started to change
[Verse 2]
C
Took a long time, but I learned
C
There's two kinds of people, one is a giver
Dm7
And one's always tryin' to take
G
All they can take
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
So I'm sayin' goodbye to the people
C F
That I feel are real good at wastin' my time
Dm7 G
No regrets, baby, I just think that maybe
C F
You go your way and I'll go mine
G
It's been a real good time
C F
But you got dark energy, somethin' I can't unsee
C F
And I've got to take care of myself
C F C F
I found a deeper well
[Verse 3]
C
I used to wake and bake
Dm7 G
Roll out of bed, hit the gravity bong that I made
G7
And start the day
C
For a while, it got me by
Dm7
Everything I did seemed better when I was high
G
I don't know why
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
So I'm gettin' rid of the habits that I feel
C F
Are real good at wastin' my time
Dm7 G
No regrets, baby, I just think that maybe
C F
It's natural when things lose their shine
G
So other things can glow
F G
I've gotten older now, I know
F C G
How to take care of myself
F C F
I found a deeper well
C F C F C F
Mm
[Verse 4]
C
When I was growing up
C
We had what we needed, shoes on our feet
Dm7
But the world was as flat as a plate
G
And that's okay
[Out-Chorus]
Dm7 G
The things I was taught only took me so far
C F
Had to figure the rest out myself
F
And then I found
Dm C F
I found a deeper well
C F C F C
Mm
