Intro: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)


   F                       C
Woke up on the cold bathroom floor
Dm                       Bb
Worldly-wise; you were young, you were bored 
        F                    C
With a scar from the night before
         Dm       
Etched fresh on your chest
            Bb
But that's par for the course these days


Instrumental: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)


           F                       C               
When she called you up out of the blue
          Dm                       Bb
You felt sick for a bit but that passed and you knew
       F                      C
That growing up happened too fast
             Dm
You can't remember last summer
        Bb
Or the way that she laughed
          Dm             Bb           F
Well you can't remember much at all anymore


Instrumental: F, C, Dm, Bb (2x)


      F                            C
On a night filled with stuttering stars
     Dm 
You once watched the skies 
           Bb
From your beat up old car
F                          C
Parked at the side of the road
Dm                        Bb          
Guided by voices from the radio

             F                      C
Well you're feeling down so you might go out
    Dm                      Bb   
And if you get lucky you might fool around
           F             C
With some girl in some room
           Dm
While the roots you put down
             Bb
Are still straining to move

           Dm                Bb                    F
And you'll leave before the morning lights your shame
         Dm               Bb                      F 
You're cynical and you've only got yourself to blame


F, C, Dm, Bb
