verse 1 
     E   B        A         B 
Shot memory and a fucked up mind 
        E      B      A      B 
Can't remember what I left behind 
  E                      B 
A dead-end street nights with no sleep 
       A           B 
Have I left my paradise for good? 
E B     A         B 
122 and highland street 
E       B        A       B 
This is where we used to meet 
  E                   B 
I knew that we'd move on someday 
      A 
But I didn't think that 
         B 
it would be this way 

Refrain 1 
  C#m            A 
I can't remember what 
         B 
it was I wanted 
    C#m        A 
But maybe if I lose it 
       B 
then I won't forget 

            E             B 
I'm feeling sorry getting older 
           C#m                A 
Nights we spent there are now over 
           E            B 
What's the purpose if I move on 
      C#m    A       B 
All I had is now all gone 
       B       B            E    B A 
Have I left my paradise for good? 
                            E    B A 
Have I left my paradise for good? 

verse 2 
    E   B             A       B 
Now I return but it's not the same 
E       B       A      B 
Somehow what we had is changed 
   E       B/D#        A/C#   B/D# 
I stare at you with my blurry eyes 
    A                   B 
But you're not a face I recognize 

            E             B 
I'm feeling sorry getting older 
           C#m                A 
Nights we spent there are now over 
           E            B 
What's the purpose if I move on 
      C#m    A       B 
All I had is now all gone 
       B       B 
Have I left my paradise for good?
