Intro
G D4/F# C9
Em7 D4/A C9
G D4/F# C9
And even though the moment passed me by
Em7 D4/A C9
I still can't turn away
G D4/F#
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd
C9
Lose
Em7 D4/A C9
Got tossed along the way
G D4/F# C9
And letters that you never meant to send
Em7 D4/A C9
Get lost or thrown away
Em7 D4/A
And now we're grown up orphans
C9
That never knew their names
Em7 D4/A
We don't belong to no one
C9
That's a shame
Em7 D4/A
But you could hide beside me
C9
Maybe for a while
Em7 D4/A C9
And I won't tell no one your name
G D4/F#
And I won't tell em your name
C9 Em7 D4/A C9
G D4/F# C9
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
Em7 D4/A C9
The past is never far
G D4/F# C9
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Em7 D4/A C9
Did you get to be a star
G D4/F# C9
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Em7 D4/A C9
Is more than who we are
Em7 D4/A
You grew up way too fast
C9
And now there's nothing to believe
Em7 D4/A C9
And reruns all become our history
Em7 D4/A C9
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
Em7 D4/A C9
And I won't tell no one your name
G D4/F#
And I won't tell em your name
C9
Em7 D4/A C9
And I won't tell em your name
G D4/F# C9
Oooooh mmmm mmmm
Em7 D4/A C9
And I won't tell em your name
Instrumental (same as Chorus)
Em7 D4/A C9
G D4/F# C9
I think about you all the time
Em7 D4/A C9
But I don't need the same

It's lonely where you are come back down
Em7 D4/A C9
And I won't tell em your name
D4/A G
