[Verse]
Am F
And there you stood, there alone with the wind
C G
All solemn in the dark, oh but with you I should’ve been
Am F
The cadence of adrenaline, the inconsistencies
C G
The weight of your actions, the regrets are there to see
Am F
Commencement is tomorrow, we had it all planned out
C G
A life of joy and love, a stereotype of young adulthood
Am F
Our apartment on cookman avenue, laughter would’ve echoed off the walls
Gadd11 G
But my inaction led to friction, and now we are off alone.
[Pre-Chorus]
E
Scared and uncertain, cortisol cascading through your veins
F
The shame and guilt, are the both of us deserving blame?
C F
I guess it doesn't matter, you've already kissed another name.
[Chorus]
C G
With these big red cliffs and tall pine trees, oh they tower above
Am F Am7
I'm longing for the snow, for the memories, for the laughter
C C6
Your rosy cheeks and black drop earrings, oh so madly in love
Am C
Emotions full of devotion, predestination had it all gone.
C F
It’s your graduation and you’re off somewhere new
G Am
And I’m still stuck here, thinking about what we went through
F C
Where ever you go, just forget about our little disaster
F G
But who am I kidding, it never even mattered
[Verse]
Am F
The act of growth, our despair, why did we even sin?
C G
I'm still learning, still trying, its like I can never win
Am F
Hallelujah, back and fourth we fought
C G
Hallelujah, next morning the arguing was forgot
Am F
A communal affection that we thought would never end
C G
God Damn, oh how naive I had been.
Am F
Another morning with empty arms, I know its time find someone new
C G
Oh but God Damn, why wont heartbreak just pass on through?
[Chorus]
C G
With these big red cliffs and tall pine trees, they tower above
Am F Am7
I'm longing for the snow, for the memories, for the laughter
C C6
breeze in your face, the hair in your lips, oh so madly in love
Am C
Emotions full of devotion, predestination had it all gone.
C F
It’s your graduation and you’re off somewhere new
G Am
And I’m still stuck here, wondering what went through
F C
Where ever you go, just forget about our little disaster
C G
But who am I kidding, it never even mattered
[Outro]
Am
Does a replacement supplement the angst and ache?
F
Is it right to find someone who can make me feel the same?
C G
Because you were not like them, no you were not like them.
Am F
Time has passed and the pines are gone. It has been far too long
C G Am
I’m pulling these memories by the stem. They’re only pulled by the stems.
