INTRO
D
Verso 1
G C D G
You’re totally ignoring me, she said as she put on her shirt
C D G
I was lying on the bed, concentrating on her skirt
C D
Did you hear one word I said? she said
G
I don’t know, it’s all a blur
C D
I close my eyes
Verso 2
G C
We fell in love in a great big rush
D G
Three years ago this June, I do recall
C D
Playing arcade games with her
G
And wanting nothing at all
C D
Just this silly skinny girl
G C
Who tended to trip and fall
D
On her lies
C D
But then summer came and we felt the strain
C D
Of the damning things we’d said
C D
All the summer rains like hurricanes
C D
That flew around our heads
D G
All the endless conversations, you know
C D
Like the things you could’ve done alone
Em C D
Instead, instead, instead, instead, instead
Verso 3
G C D
So I fucked it up like I always do, I was born to be alone
G C D
I don’t even know if the words were true that I screamed into the phone
G C D
All I know is everybody leaves or so it seems to me
G C D
When I’m alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
BRIDGE
Em D C D
But I was younger then and stronger then, somehow I can’t explain
Em D C D
How these years can be so humbling, so strangely full of pain
Em D C D
Just how everyone and everything must change and change and change and change
G C D
And change and change and change
Just like that

Verso 4
G D C D
Sometimes I feel just like a train that’s running off the tracks
G C D
And sometimes I think I’ve said too many things I can’t take back
G C D
And sometimes it seems like everything I do is just a waste
G C D
In fact, that’s it, I think oh wait, I’m sure
Verso 5
G C D
But I’m trying every morning that I wake to stand up straight
G C D
And to always tell the truth and give back more than I take
G C D
And to be kind and pure, less fucking scared of everything
G C D G
I just can’t take much more of this, I’m sure
