E...
Ewhen we first met we were kids, we were wild, we were Restless
and after a while, i grew coarse, i grew cold, i grew rBeckless
i hold this memory, hold you so close to me, whispered were we always hEappy
lately it feels like i'm sleepin', and i just can't wake up
pacing the floor, want to call, but i can't so i hBang up
sharing a secret on the train with a lady who's crying has ruined her mEake up
G#mnow i see just how yF#moung, how scared i was
G#meyes closed tight, throwing pF#unch after punch at the world
saErah, is it ever gonna be the same
sarah, is it ever gonna be the same
E.......
Dsaid goodbye to all the placCes i used to go
Dsaid goodbye to all the fCaces i used to know
G#nothing lasts forever
F#i guess by now, i should knCow
i should knEow
Ethere ain't a thing i can say that will ever repair
and you, who had so much advice, and yet couldn't shBare
maybe someday, we will look back at this and we'll smile, but right now i can't Ebear
G#mnow i see just how yF#moung, how scared i was
G#meyes closed tight, throwing pF#unch after punch at the world
saErah, is it ever gonna be the same
sarah, is it ever gonna be the same
