Verse: 

D 
Get dolled up for the reunion 
          G                          A 
You'll be one of the girls that has aged like wine 
        D 
You'll fret and fuss to get ready 
         G                       A 
But you need to know that the years have been kind 

      D 
The nagging voice in the darkness 
                 G                             A 
It's like your so-called friend that has stayed too long 
              D 
Don't let it whisper too loudly 
                  G                       A 
It threatens your nerve, it's smothers your song 



D               A           Em        G 
Don't let your heavy heart drag you down 
G 
Drag you down 



Verse:
 

D 
The deafening din of the static 
                 G                      A 
It's like all that they built has been falling apart 
D 
It creeps in like and informant 
       G                  A 
It gnaws at your time and weighs on your heart 


D 
The loneliness in the kitchen 
             G                             A 
I know her ghosts come 'round 'cause they haunt me too 
D 
Don't second-guess your potential 
                   G                       A 
'Cause there's a heart of gold that she left there in you 




D               A           Em        G 
Don't let your heavy heart drag you down 
G            
Drag you down (2x)




Bridge:
 

G               Em                G                 A 
I know these last few years have made you feel so tired 
G                     Em             G          A 
When disenchantment swells it gets so hard to hide 




D                A          Em        G 
Don't let your heavy heart drag you down 
G 
Drag you down
