you still wear your hair to your shoulder

you still look like a friday night

and i myself look a few moments older
D Em D A
when i learned that love is not as simple as i thought

it starts to feel more real and the wounds all start to heal

whether i want them to or not

it means a lot that you came here to speak to me
D Em D A
and i will listen in ways i never did before
D Em D F#m D
i'll hear the pause between each word and when your presentations heard

then i'll need to show you to the door

cause some people were just meant to be a memory.
D Em D A
to be called upon to remind us how we've changed
D Em D F#m D
the way the scattered ever-busy bright lights of a city
A B7 A
might look off to a distant mountain range
D A
and the guy you know is someone i work hard at keeping hid
E E7 A
and he is very good at sticking to the plan
D A F#m
cause you broke the quick-giving heart of a kid
A E A
but youre now coming back to a man

i might think of you more often then i'm willing to admit
E E7 A
but i cant show every card i'm holding in my hand
D A F#m
cause you broke the quick-giving heart of a kid
A E A
but youre now coming back to a man
A D A
you still wear your hair to your shoulder
D Em D A
you still look like a friday night
D Em D F#m D
you're still caught somewhere between the plans and the dreams
A B7 A
so that neither end up turning out right
