(fingerpicking)
A                                    Em6                   D5           
I won't forget when I couldn't go to bed with the lights off
      A                            Em6           D5
When I heard that voice call me in for the night
   A                            Em6            D5
I remember when love was just a word and not a fight
      A                       Em6 (hold)      D5(hold)
All I had to worry about were broken bones and being left alone

music break - (strum) A, D5, A, D5

(strum)
A                                 
Way back then there were monsters in my closet
D5                                       Bm
And now there's just skeletons hiding in there
The clock is ticking away
                     D5             E
The leaves are still falling every day
    A                           D5
The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then
        Bm                     D5        E
Like the heat from the blacktop again and again


(strum once)
D2        A2          E2             D2
I remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs
D2      A2         E2 
When my hands were lost and so young


D2                 A2          E2           D2
It seemed like the houses were touching the sky
     D2           A2           E2 (hold)
And I thought this smile on my face would never lie


(palm mute)
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun
The summer we were staring at the
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun


A                                 
Way back then there were monsters in my closet
D5                                       Bm
And now there's just skeletons hiding in there
The clock is ticking away
                     D5             E
The leaves are still falling every day
    A                           D5
The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then
        Bm                     D5        E
Like the heat from the blacktop again and again
