This is the first track on the Brand New's latest demo album that has been floating around for some time. It's a pretty basic song to play, but it is one of 

my favorites on this album. Let me know of any corrections/comments, thanks!


Standard Tuning: E|A|D|G|B|e


This song doesn't have a standard verse/chorus/verse structure to me, so I'm just going to break it down as 3 "verses" and put each chord progression. 

There's just one main progression but a couple variations, so I'll lay the basic timing out over the lyrics as well. Just listen to the song for the exact 

timing since it's pretty straightforward. They do a bit of fingerpicking mixed with the chords, but I'll leave that up to you since it's pretty generic 

anyway.


Basic chord progressions:
------------------------------

Verse 1: G  C  G  D  Am  C  G  Em  Am  C  G  Em
Verse 2: G  C  G  D  Am  C  G  Em  Am  C  G
Verse 3: G  C  G  D  Am  C  G  Em  Am  C  G  C  Am  C  G


Lyrics accomp:
----------------------

G			    C
well i wrote your name and burned it,

	G		    D
see the color of the flame,

	 Am			C	   G			Em		
and it burned out the whole spectrum as if you were everything,

	   Am
mine just burned gold,

	C
a normal flame,

  G		Em
i am not anything,

    G		 C		G		    D
and all that i remember is the feeling of waking up,

              Am		  C		  G		     Em
when we were kids you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust,

	      Am   		c		G	
when we were kids i was a fountain you could never drink enough,

     	  G	           C
then came all the boys who swept you up,

	G				D
played careless with your heart,

	  Am			C	        G	     	Em
and every night there was a new girl sitting beside me in my car,

	 Am			C
something dies when you grow older,

  	G		   C
but you do the best you can,

    Am
i am glad,

    C
i am glad,

	     G	
you found a good man.
