[Verse 1]
  EThere’s a girl back home I used to know
EWho cried herself to sleep every night
  BWe all knew
BWe all knew
  EOnly girl who would ever compromise
Strike a deal with the devil to save a night
  BWe all knew
BWe all knew
  EShe tried to call me a month ago
ETo sing me a song that she just wrote
  BBut I wasn’t home
BI should’ve known that
[Pre-Chorus]
G#mTime had taken its toll
She Bhad no place to go
They D#found her body resting by the river
[Chorus]
 G#mOh, Eoh
I never said goodbBye
  D#I wish I would have triG#med
  EI couldn’t hear her cries
  BAs she filled her veins with lies
  D#Until she saw the light
[Interlude]
D#Ah
[Verse 2]
EI remember we would hide behind the trees
ESmoking cigarettes until our throats would bleed
  BThose were the days, those were the days
Yeah, Enever scared, never worried that the summer would end
EInvincible to every short bend
 BWe drove so fast
BThought it would last
[Pre-Chorus]
But G#mtime had taken its toll
She Bhad no place to go
D#They found her body resting by the river
[Chorus]
 G#mOh, Eoh
I never said goodbBye
  D#I wish I would have triG#med
  EI couldn’t hear her cries
  BAs she filled her veins with lies
  D#Until she saw the light

[Verse 1]

There’s a girl back home I used to know

Who cried herself to sleep every night

We all knew

Only girl who would ever compromise

Strike a deal with the devil to save a night

We all knew

She tried to call me a month ago

To sing me a song that she just wrote

But I wasn’t home

I should’ve known that

[Pre-Chorus]

G#m

Time had taken its toll

She had no place to go

They found her body resting by the river

[Chorus]

G#m E

Oh, oh

I never said goodbye

D# G#m

I wish I would have tried

I couldn’t hear her cries

As she filled her veins with lies

Until she saw the light

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

I remember we would hide behind the trees

Smoking cigarettes until our throats would bleed

Those were the days, those were the days

Yeah, never scared, never worried that the summer would end

Invincible to every short bend

We drove so fast

Thought it would last

[Pre-Chorus]

G#m

But time had taken its toll

She had no place to go

They found her body resting by the river

G#m E

Oh, oh

I never said goodbye

D# G#m

I wish I would have tried

I couldn’t hear her cries

As she filled her veins with lies

Until she saw the light
