 A   F#m   Bm   D(x2)
[Verse 1]
Alinus and me, we were F#mtalking about first loves,
Bmhow they burn out, leave you Dcharred
and then changed completelAy.
Ai thought about that one F#msummer burning in the suburbs:
Bmme and caroline making Deyes and waiting on the subway.
Ashe'd sought me out like the F#mstamp that finished her collection,
Bmlike a dying breed in Ddanger of extinction,
and we Afell into each other without the F#mslightest bit of caution,
Bmuntil the whole thing fDell out from under our feet.
F#mi see caroline sometimes Awalking down the street,
and her Bmhead’s all full up with those Dpeople she meets.
i wanna F#mcall out and say "hey, thanks for Aeverything, caroline"
Bmbut she don't go by that Dname no more…D  
[Chorus]
and if she Dsaw me tonight, she wouldn't Alook at me twice,
but you Eknow, don't you know, it's alF#mright… alright... EalDright.
Dme and caroline walked Adifferent paths in life,
but you Eknow, don't you know, it's alF#mright… alright… EalDright.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Atommy and me, we had F#mcommitted a crime,
Bmnot a lot to it, just Dsomething we did at the time.
Athere was war in the F#mair and it troubled my mind.
Bmthere were secrets between Dus, but i'd been F#msure
the things we Ashared, well they were Bmours,
but there was something Dthere i hadn't seen before
when i F#msaw tommy in his Amilitary uniform:
Bmhe'd just been looking for a Dwar.D  
[Chorus]
and if he Dsaw me tonight he might not Alook me in the eye,
but you Eknow, don't you know, it's alF#mright… alright… EalDright.
Dme and tommy we had dAifferent wars to fight,
but you Eknow, don't you know, it's just F#mgotta be EalDright.

before i Bmbroke and took down that old Dpicture you drew.
you know they F#msay moving on is just sAomething you do.

she'd sought me out like the stamp that finished her collection,

i see caroline sometimes walking down the street,

Bm D

and her head’s all full up with those people she meets.

F#m A

i wanna call out and say "hey, thanks for everything, caroline"
