A Em6 D5
I won't forget when I couldn't go to bed with the lights off
A Em6 D5
When I heard that voice call me in for the night
A Em6 D5
I remember when love was just a word and not a fight
A Em6 D5
All I had to worry about were broken bones and being left alone
music break - (strum) A, D5, A, D5
(strum)
A
Way back then there were monsters in my closet
D5 Bm
And now there's just skeletons hiding in there
The clock is ticking away
D5 E
The leaves are still falling every day
A D5
The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then
Bm D5 E
Like the heat from the blacktop again and again
(strum once)
D2 A2 E2 D2
I remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs
D2 A2 E2
When my hands were lost and so young
D2 A2 E2 D2
It seemed like the houses were touching the sky
D2 A2 E2
And I thought this smile on my face would never lie
(palm mute)
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun
The summer we were staring at the
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun
A
Way back then there were monsters in my closet
D5 Bm
And now there's just skeletons hiding in there
The clock is ticking away
D5 E
The leaves are still falling every day
A D5
The sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then
Bm D5 E
Like the heat from the blacktop again and again
