The sun is laid to Crest
At night the city Gcomes to life
As the Dlight dies in the Cwest
GHere we stand as some local band
Sets circles 'round the Cclock
Smoke so thick you need a lGighthouse
So lDoud I can't hear myself Ctalk
GSomeone whispered in my ear
"It's not like it was Cbefore"
I don't know what Ghappened here
I Dguess we just got Cbored
GThe good old days
Well I suppose, I'm glad they're behind us Dnow
The Gonly thing worse than Cgrowing up
Is Gnever quite Dlearning Ghow
GLate at night we Ctoss and we Gturn
Lay awake 'til Ddawn
GWe close our eyes as the Csun comes up we're Ggone

It's dusk as all the shadows fall

The sun is laid to rest

At night the city comes to life

D C

As the light dies in the west

Here we stand as some local band

Sets circles 'round the clock

Smoke so thick you need a lighthouse

D C

So loud I can't hear myself talk

Someone whispered in my ear

"It's not like it was before"

I don't know what happened here

D C

I guess we just got bored

The good old days

Well I suppose, I'm glad they're behind us now

G C

The only thing worse than growing up

G D G

Is never quite learning how

G C G

Late at night we toss and we turn

Lay awake 'til dawn

G C G

We close our eyes as the sun comes up we're gone
