[Verse]
DTry, try to figure
Out what iAt all means
GAs the sunset on
Your Gsilly suburbia in dream
DYou don't love her, no
You couldAn't couldn't possibly
GIf you loved her
You'Dd hate for her to be so free
BmAnd yoBu know she's going out tonight
To Athis city where there are bright headlights
BmMaybe you go down and then make it alright
Or just Gstay home and cry
Why Ddon't you Atell her, tell that girl?
You said foGrever ever oDhoh oh
DI'm taken over
Aways to show how you feel
But Gflowers died
And yoAu could never kDnow what's real
