Intro
C
C
I've been staring at your shoes all night

thinking how did you walk through my life
Am
without me ever knowing that
F
we both hate all the same things
C
and now I'm wondering where you will walk next
G
maybe to an apartment complex
Am
in New Jersey or Tennesee
F
or somewhere else I never ever ever thought you'd be.
C G C
Or maybe you'll be right here,
G F C
or maybe you'll be right here,
G F C
or maybe you'll be right here

next to me watching bad TV

Resting on rooftops sneaking cigarettes from your mothers purse again
A Dbm D F#m G
13 held such awkward days
A Dbm D
Counting stars wishing one of them would fall on your house,
A Dbm D F#m G
maybe then you'd have a story you're proud to tell
Chorus
A Dbm D Dbm D
Younger days, they seem so far away
A Dbm D Dbm D
But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar
A Dbm D Dbm D
pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles
A Dbm D Dbm Bm A
away But certain faces will bring me back to that awful rotten place
A, Dbm, D, F#m, G
A Dbm D
I remember your mother having sex in her bedroom with her new lover
A Dbm D F#m G
while we watched reruns of Pete and Pete
A Dbm D A
I left my innocence at your doorstep from that day on
Dbm D F#m G
the world was scary I didn't trust anyone or know anyone
Chorus
A Dbm D Dbm D
Younger days, they seem so far away
A Dbm D Dbm D
But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar
A Dbm D Dbm D
pain Younger days, they seem miles and miles

Intro
C, Am, G, F, C, Am, G
Verse
C Am G F C G
Great escapes have made up a third of my time on this place

and most of it's a blur and now I'm falling out of love
G F C
with the idea that if you don't like it just run away
C, Am, G, F, C, Am, G
C Am G
The phrase time and place seems so dumb
C Am F
when my time and place changes every month
G F
And now I'm feeling like my roots are showing
G F G
if I don't find dirt I'll just stop growing
Chorus
C G F
I've never really cared about solution or remedy
C G F
I'll take what I get and hope it don't upset me
C G F
Now I'm done feeling like this can't be wrong
C G F C G F
I'm doing this to me but I hope that you come along
C G F
come along
C G F
come along
C G F
come along
