[Intro]
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F
[Verse 1]
Am
You were older than me in the fourth grade
Am/G
I'd hang on to every word that you sang
Am/F# Am/F
Like tomorrow it'd all start to fade
Am
You had eyes brown like chocolate diamonds
Am/G
But your smile was empty like a distant island
Am/F# Am/F
Gaze stretched out towards the horizon
[Verse 2]
Am
Catching fireflies in my backyard
Am/G
Knees are beat-up, broken, scarred
Am/F# Am/F
From falling, but it's not that hard
Am
To forget the pain, it's temporary
Am/G
Sometimes the dark isn't that scary
Am/F# Am/F
Air tastes sweet like candied cherries
[Chorus]

Why did it end?

Falling over you

But it's over now
