[Verse 1]
C Am F
You had people who called you on unmarked numbers
In my peripheral vision
C Am F
I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer
All was quickly forgiven
C Am F
You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious
C
Flush with the currency of cool
Am F
I was always turnin' out my empty pockets
G
And when it came to you
[Chorus]
C Am
I didn't come here to make friends
F G
We were born to be suburban legends
C Am
When you hold me, it holds me together
F G
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
[Verse 2]
C Am F
I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs
Would surprise the whole school
C Am F
When I ended up back at our class reunion
Walkin' in with you
C Am F
You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries
With the pages ripped out
C Am F
I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium
G
And I can still see you now
[Chorus]
C Am
I didn't come here to make friends
F G
We were born to be suburban legends
C Am
When you hold me, it holds me together
F G
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
C Am
I know that you still remember
F G
We were born to be national treasures
C Am
When you told me we'd get back together
F G
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
[Outro]
C Am F
Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block
C
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
Am F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door
C
You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined
Am F
Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block
C
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
Am F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door
G C Am F
You don't knock anymore and I always knew it
G C Am F G C
That my life would be ruined
