      C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)    DAs (xx0232@1)we moved together in the dark
            Am (x02210@1)               EmAnd (022000@1)all the friends that i was telling
            Am (x02210@1)        CAnd (x32010@1)all the playful misspellings

           Am (x02210@1)             EmBut (022000@1)it was vile, and it was cheap
            C (x32010@1)               Am (x02210@1)                  EmAnd (022000@1)you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
