Intro: C#m G#m A9 E A9 E B
C#m G#m
Don't write me no more letters
A9 E
My mailbox is full of bombs
A9 E B
Between you and the kooks on my block
C#m G#m
I don't remember the good times
A9 E
I wasn't there and you were kind
A9 E B
And my wife has some dogs in our yard
A9 E B C#m
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
A9 E
We were strangers many hours
B
And I missed you for so long
C#m B
When we were lions, lovers in combat
A9 E B
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
E B
But I am older now
C#m A9
And we did it when we were young
E B
I am older now
C#m A9
And we did it when we were young
C#m G#m
There are no reasons to believe
A9 E
I buried my faith on the block
A9 E
With your heart and your clothes
B
When I find
C#m G#m
I don't feel you or recall
A9 E
I'll put your bones out in the yard
A9 E B
Someone else to be called and called by
A9 E B C#m
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl
A9 E
We were strangers many hours
B
And I missed you for so long
C#m B
When we were lions, lovers in combat
A9 E B
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
E B
But I am older now
C#m A9
And we did it when we were young
E B
I am older now
C#m A9
And we did it when we were young
