Intro: C  C/G  C

        C             C/G         C
I could tell you were planning to stay.
        C              C/G        Fmaj/C
I could tell that some things had changed.
             Am        Em             Fmaj/C        C
How you were saying my name with that smile on your face,
              C             C/G     C
Yeah, I could tell you were carried away.

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

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

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


Break: Am  C/G  Fmaj/C  C  C/G  Fmaj/C x2


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

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

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

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