Skinned knees on the gravel where we Dmsat
WFide-eyed, coming of age

GmWe grew up without looking back
VERSE:
PFromises and tight grips
NCow we're here and we're bound to slip
GmIs it wrong that part of me feels cheated?
NFever wished I understood
I trCaded easiness for adulthood 
GmAt the surface,
We got what we wanted 
CHORUS:
We like the tFaste of caffeine 
And now you are too Dmbusy for me
But this is Feverything we wanted
This is Bbeverything we wanted
And maybe you will mFake that effort
And maybe the Dmmemories are better
'Cause this is eFverything we Cwanted
FIs this Gmeverything we wanted?
(TFoo fast, too much, too soon)
VERSE:
 DmI remember all the pledges
AmWe were certain that the bond was the constant
COn the verge of resolution we were Gmsure
DmParted ways, near and fast
AmI never thought it wouldn't last
GmCan we avoid being getting cut too short

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:

VERSE:

You're the lines on the tarmac

Rainy days and we take it to the carpet

Skinned knees on the gravel where we sat

Wide-eyed, coming of age

A year older every day

We grew up without looking back

VERSE:

Promises and tight grips

Now we're here and we're bound to slip

Is it wrong that part of me feels cheated?

Never wished I understood

I traded easiness for adulthood

At the surface,

We got what we wanted

CHORUS:

We like the taste of caffeine

And now you are too busy for me

But this is everything we wanted

This is everything we wanted

And maybe you will make that effort

And maybe the memories are better

F C

'Cause this is everything we wanted

F Gm

Is this everything we wanted?

(Too fast, too much, too soon)

VERSE:

On the verge of resolution we were sure

Parted ways, near and fast

I never thought it wouldn't last

Can we avoid being getting cut too short

VERSE:

Promises and tight grips

Now we're here and we're bound to slip

Is it wrong that part of me feels cheated?

Never wished I understood, I,

Traded easiness for adulthood

At the surface

We got what we wanted

CHORUS:

And now you are too busy for me

But this is everything we wanted

This is everything we wanted

And maybe you will make that effort

And maybe the memories are better

But it's alright

(Too fast, too much, too soon)

My mind is occupied
