View chords used in this chart
Intro: F Am G
F
We couldn't wait for the days to get longer,
F
Spend nights sitting up, wasting away
F
All the shit that we did when we were younger,
Am
Think back and it feels like yesterday
G F
We were losing teeth,
Am G F
Stayed up again last night, talk some sense to me
Am G
So it seems the time has come
F Am
To pack your bags, close your eyes and run like I did,
G F
If you do it first I'll follow straight behind you
Am G
Cuz growing old is a waste of time,
F
To say goodbye is a waste of breath,
Am G F
We'll stick it out til the bitter end
G F
I remember every night that we spent on the edge,
G
The cold warmth and the bitter taste that it left
Young, dumb, and carefree and reckless,
F
But there's some method to the madness
F
F
Passed out in the living room,
Am
Moved on but I'll see you soon,
F
Bored now you're absent,
Am G
Back home there's still nothing to do
F
Though we complained about it
Am G F
All was such a worthwhile waste of my time,
Every day and each night a memory,
Am G
Take care and please don't forget me
F
Don't give a fuck what they have to say,
Am F
Cuz we'll just do it anyway,
Am
And if I break a bone or it fries my brain,
G F
We took a risk and laughed at our mistakes.
Give a fuck if we don't fit in!
Am
We don't need them,
G F
They don't know a thing about us,
All the times we shared
Am G
The world at our feet and in the wind in our hair,
Am G
But some things must change,
F
And as much as I hate it,
Am G F Am F
It kills me to say our goodbyes as we turn the page and
Am
Move onto the next chapter,
F
And hope it won't hold disaster
G
Now the world's so big it seems,
F
But the blank white walls won't let me breathe
G F
And if the big wide world caved in tonight, I'd see you on
The other side
F
Passed out in the living room,
Am
Moved on but I'll see you soon,
F
Bored now you're absent,
Am G
Back home there's still nothing to do
F
Though we complained about it
Am G F
All was such a worthwhile waste of my time,
Every day and each night a memory,
Am G
Take care and please don't forget me
