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

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
G C D
Ooooooo X4
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
