A (still)
and the stairs that you could climb
E
were the ones you've left behind and your
A E
eyes light up when we talk about the past
E A

A E
talking like getting away would be the greatest thing
A
well me, i got out and you just kept singing to me
E
like its really gonna set this free
(chorus)
(solo for 4 phrases)
A E
like a ghost, you've been haunting all these dusty old roads
A E
and old homes, the ones we swore we'd never go. we'll never go
A E
so Joe, oh i've seen him around and there's Adam he's afraid to go out
A E
i dont blame him. i just wanted to go out to eat
A
then there's mark, goddamn, i wish him the best
E
we were kids back then as if we could progress and
A E
sometimes i, i just cant sleep thinking of everything we could have been so
(chorus x2)
