There was nothing you could do but turn away

They told the fathers to hide all the girls away

C F C F
But it's all right, I just hope it's nothing bad
Am F C F
You can call me if you're sad, I don't care what you father said

We were running through the halls of the middle school
C F
Writing our names on the sides of the public pool
Am F C F
Like two ghosts in flight on a sleepless night, we were alive

Am F C F
And she sleeps so hard that you wonder if she is alive

Am F Am G
Oh we were so young, we were so wrong
