A Bm
Used to get high with the dead end kids

Abandoned houses where the shadows live

I never been higher than I was that night

The road dissolving like an empty vow

Couldn’t remember where I’d been that night
F#m
I knew I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down

Here I am, standing all alone
