[D] I'll always treasure [F#] the [F#m] naivety [D] of the [A] past we've shared
[F#] Our bodies grew much faster [D] than our minds
[E] But together we got good at [A] stopping time _ _ _ _
My teen angst drove [F#m] me to hurt myself
[D] And I made [A] you watch [F#] all the pain I must have [D]
caused
[E] But by staying around you [A] saved my life
_ _ _ _ [D]
We were [E] never meant to [F#m] be _ _ [E] lovers

[E] Who [B] _ [A] blossomed apart

I doubt [E] I'd survive another [A] bloody nose

_ spotlight burned in the room when [F#] we were together
[D] And we played [A] our parts
[F#] And I wore an imaginary [D] TV screen
[F#] So you never got to [A] touch my heart
_ _ _ _ [D] _
We were [E] never meant to [F#m] be _ _ [E] lovers
[A] Our egos fed off [D] each other
[E] And died _ [A] over
_ [Bm] _
_ [E] And died [A] over waves _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
I thought I'd seen it all when [F#m] you first walked in
[D] But you shot [A] me up
And [F#m] challenged every wrong [D] perception I've had of myself
[E] And you haven't ever
