[Intro]
D G Bm A G
[Verse 1]
D G
When I was young I knew everything
Bm A G
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
D G
Now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor
Bm A G
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice (no)
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm A G
I can't be held responsible
Bm A G
'Cause she was touching her face

She fell in love in the first place

Bm A G
We'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen
D G Bm A G
[Verse 2]
D G
My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
Bm A G
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
D G

Bm A G
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says...

Bm A G
We fell through the ice, when we tried not to slip, we'd say it...
