Intro:
Em7      C9      G      D4    x4

Verse:
Em7      C9            G      
A cherry bomb, you are a mystery
Em7/B         C9      G
Exploded, sparkling quiet nights
Em7            C9            G
My teenage heart packed all my misery, baby
Em7/B         C9      G
To fingertips that might ignite

Em7      C9               G
And all along you knew my story, didn't you
Em7/B         C9      G
And all night long I carried yours
Em7      C9               G
Your blood was mixed wine and robbery, baby
Em7/B         C9      G
And left us always wanting more

Chorus:
Em7        C9            G      D
So don't sing me your songs about the good times
Em7        C9            G      D
Those days are gone and you should just let them go
Em7        C9            G      D
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when 
Em7        C9            G      D
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Em7        C9            G      D
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

VERSE
Em7      C9            G
Cherry bomb, your love is surgery
Em7/B         C9      G
Removing what you don't regard
Em7      C9            G
And every breath felt like a funeral, baby
Em7/B         C9      G
While you were packing up your car
Em7      C9            G
And with the window down I hear your tired mouth
Em7/B         C9      G
You borrowed everything and wore all your old welcomes out
Em7      C9            G
And shame on you, my love you sold your youth away
Em7/B         C9      G
Memories are sinking ships that never would be saved

Em7                  Em7/B
And shame, shame, shame, shame on you
C9                  D
You kept your mind and heart and youth

Just like a tomb
Em7                  Em7/B
And shame, shame, shame, shame on you

Just like a tomb
