intro: F G C

        F            G           C
I could tell you were planning to stay. 
        F             G              C                             
I could tell that some things hadn't changed. 
             F        Am              Em            
How you were saying my name with that smile on your face, 
      F                     G       C    
Yeah, I could tell you were carried away. 



              F         G             C 
I heard you don't fall asleep in your bed. 
            F             G             C
I heard you haven't quite found yourself yet. 
               F          Am               Em
I heard you're out every night with those liquor eyes, 
F               G                     C
Searching for a good man to treat you right.  



         F              G                  C                  F
I still listen to those same songs that I showed you a summer ago. 
       C             Am       Em       F             C           G        C
Do you remember when I drove late that night and you didn't even bother to call? 


          F             G          C 
I saw you at my friends party last night. 
             F             G              C
You're still searching for something that shines. 
  F              C           Am       Em
I watched as you cried and I felt satisfied 
    F                 G      C
and that just doesn't seem right. 



C G F C G F



     F          G               C 
I've blistered the bottom of my feet, 
           F               G         C                               
While your eyes have grown tired and weak.
             Am            Em              F         C                 
You got your drink in your hands with your one night stands,  
     F                G             C
That stuff just never meant much to me. 



          F     G         C     
You layed on my bathroom floor,
       F             G       C
With a mouth full of lies to ignore
        Am            Em          Am          C    
Like my brother would say, you'll realize one day.
    Am            Em              C
But I would just like to know for sure. 



          F         G      C
My friend gave me a silver bill.
          F           G           C
He use to keep it for good luck--and Well
        Am    Em         Am          Em
Well, I don't believe in things like these,
      F             G           C
But I keep it in my left pocket still. 


          F             G         C  
When every weekend is a chance to live,
        F             G     C
And you can't wait to do it again.
               Am         Em            Am                 Em
You're clearly growing up fast, you've changed all of your plans,
        F              G                    C
But I'm still the same kid you fell in love with.
