We were never very smart, we were sticking to our guns
We knew we had it up babe, we knew we were the ones
Forever barely starts, then suddenly someone's
Saying all is said and done
(chorus - same as before)
When I get lonely, sure she'll do
But you're the only you
I sprayeAmd our names across the bridge
GSo the whole damn tFown would know
AmThat bridge is gone
GBut some recall Fthat "What's-his-face hearts so-and-so"
C/GAnd so it goes... Gand so it goes
(chorus)
But when I get lonely, sure she'll do
But you're the only
when I get lonely, I make do
But you're the only you
You got another boy I hear he looks a lot like me
