C5 - A5 - F5 - C5 2x
Verse:
C5 A5
between the stacks in the library
F5
not like anyone stopped to see
C5
we came they went, our bodies spent
C5
among the dust and the microfiche
A5
dark winters wear you down
F5
up again to see the dawn
in your worn sweatshirt
C5
and your mothers old skirt
G(same as first G5 in chorus)
its enough to turn my studies down

G5 A5 F5 C(long)
now that you feel, you say it's not real 2x
C5 - A5 - F5 - C5
Verse:
C5 A5
i never thought i would come of age
F5
let alone on a moldy page
you put your back to the spines
C5
and you said it was fine if there's nothing really left to say
C5 A5
you're taking toffee with your vicodin
F5
something sweet to forget about him
C5
if you go your own way i will go my own way
G(same as first G5 in chorus)
and well never speak of it again
Chorus:
G5 A5 F5 C(long)
now that you feel, you say its not real 2x
