Intro:
Em7	Cadd9	G	Dsus4    x4

Verse:
Em7	Cadd9		G	
A cherry bomb, you are a mystery
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
Exploded, sparkling quiet nights
Em7	      Cadd9		G
My teenage heart packed all my misery, baby
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
To fingertips that might ignite

Em7	Cadd9		   G
And all along you knew my story, didn't you
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
And all night long I carried yours
Em7	Cadd9		   G
Your blood was mixed wine and robbery, baby
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
And left us always wanting more

Chorus:

So don't sing me your songs about the good times
Em7	  Cadd9		G	D
Those days are gone and you should just let them go
Em7	  Cadd9		G	D
And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when 
Em7	  Cadd9		G	D
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts
Em7	  Cadd9		G	D
Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

VERSE
Em7	Cadd9		G
Cherry bomb, your love is surgery
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
Removing what you don't regard
Em7	Cadd9		G
And every breath felt like a funeral, baby
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
While you were packing up your car
Em7	Cadd9		G
And with the window down I hear your tired mouth
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
You borrowed everything and wore all your old welcomes out
Em7	Cadd9		G
And shame on you, my love you sold your youth away
Em7/B	   Cadd9	G
Memories are sinking ships that never would be saved
