For the Emessence Dsus4of my Cadd#11youth

G EmLike a knock-out punch to the jaw
[Verse]
GNot so long ago I ran into her
She Emlives with one of my friends now
GHe loves her, and she loves him
And Empart of me still that little school boy
[Chorus]
We Ctalked all night Dsus4about tattooes
And the Emway we Dsus4used to Cadd#11be
The Csun came up, and it was Dsus4time for me to sleep
[Interlude]
G Em G Em
[Verse]
GWaved goodbye to them and went upstairs
Just to Emlay my poor head down
GJust before i fell asleep I saw the door open
And it was Emher
GShe had nostalgia chokes in her eyes.
EmShe layed down next me
And Gheld me between her breasts
And Emwhispered into my ear:
[Chorus]
C"I love you boy". I Dsus4whispered back:
"Oh EmI still Dsus4love you Cadd#11too"
I Cmeant it, then Dsus4she got up and left
