Open Chords.
Good Luck And Please Feel Free To Improve/edit It. As I Said It’s All Just What I Hear
[Intro]
Am Em Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am
I can see you through a summer lens
Dm
Practicin' your violin
Am
Extra-large Dead Kennedys T-shirt
Em Em7
Uncut grass and fair weather friends
Am
One on one, and two on two
Dm
Sunburned knees, black and blue
Am
And when we popped the lid on the storm drain
Em Em7
We just climbed on through
Am
Lookin' for skeletons draped in gold
Dm
Secret riches yet untold
Am C/B
And all we found was leaves and mud
C G Em
And somethin' you can't have or hold
Am
I wish I coulda stayed a little longer
[Chorus]
Em G F
Memories fade as that old black ribbon unwinds
Am
No one ever says "so long forever"
C/B F Em Em7
Even if it's gonna be the last time
[Verse 2]
Am
Snow fallin' down on '96
Dm
Was jumpin off the roof into it
Am
We traded in our bike chains
Em Em7
For a blue and white horizon
Am
We built our fortress then
Dm
'Til the street lamps brought us in
Am
Pretty soon it was a cold river
C G Em
And the drain had robbed us again
Am
I wish I coulda stayed a little longer
[Chorus]
Em G F
Memories fade as that old black ribbon unwinds
Am
No one ever says "so long forever"
C/B F Em Em7
Even if it's gonna be the last time
[Outro]
Dm
Sweet sixteen in a seafood shack
Bb
Guess I was born a setting sun
I don't think about it much
G Em
I think about it some and I
Am
wish I coulda stayed a little longer
Am Em Am Em
