Gb  Ebm
[Verse 1]
BbmI didn't want to be the one to forget
AbI thought of everything I'd never regret
GbA little time with you is all that I get
EbmThat's all we need because it's all we can take
BbmOne thing I never see the same when you're 'round
AbI don't believe in him -- his lips on the ground
GbI wanna take you to that place in the "Roche"
EbmBut no one gives us any time anymore
BbmHe ask me once if I'd look in on his dog
AbYou made an offer for it, then you ran off
GbI got this picture of us kids in my head
EbmAnd all I hear is the last thing that you said
[Pre Chorus]
Bbm'I listened to your problems
Now listen to mine'
I didn't wanAbt to anymore, oh oh ohh
[Chorus]
BbmAnd we will never be alone againGb  
Cause it doesn't hEbmappen every day
Kinda counted on you being a frieAbnd
Can I give it up or give it awaBbmy
Now I thought about what I wanna sGbay
But I never really know where to goEbm  
So I chained myself to a frAbiend
Some mGbore again

[Verse 2]
BbmIt didn't matter what they wanted to see
AbHe thought he saw someone that looked just like me
GbThe summer memory that just never dies
EbmWe worked too long and hard to give it no time
BbmHe sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
AbCracks in the road that I would try and disguise
GbHe runs his scissor at the seam in the wall
EbmHe cannot break it down or else he would fall
BbmOne thousand lonely stars
AbHiding in the cold
GbTake it, I don't wanna Ebmsing anymore
