Bridge:

Em C

Lollipop dreams and

candycane waves

Are gonna hurt like hell

when they crumble away

Because a beautiful youth

hurts worst when it dies

A rotten reminder of the

days we decided we'd rather

go big and then rot away

We'd give into love

and wind up castaways

We said "fuck all the old

boring shits we've become"

So we hoarded our dreams

and we burnt every one

D Em

And fuck me man I knew

not what I'd done

D Em

Fuck us man we knew

not what we'd done

Em D

Fuck us man we knew

not what we'd done

Man we were just

Baby this ain't

home to me

no matter what

they say

The grass is too

damn green here

and the hearts

are dull and grey

So take me down

to that city

where the girls

just look okay

It's about all

I can take it

I've stood too
