[Bb] [G] [Bb] [Gm]
[Bb] [Gm]
[F] [Gm] [Bb] Sorry [G] girl, I just couldn't [Bb] know I was deep in thought [G] at the [Bb] time
Without the [G] last place I'd first, [Bb] I was probably [G] looking at mine
[Eb] That was shooting steel, and girl I'm probably lost
Fuckin' folks been big [G] to some nuts
[F] I was young, I [Eb] was serious
[F] I could miss your what [Eb] the world was worth, what the [F] world's about
About [Eb] another river, doubt [F] about it, I got a [Eb] fire in my head
Well, I'm [Bb] returning now, I'm stuck [Gm] out
I used to [Bb] know, man, it [G] changed so much
[Bb]
I can't even [G] tell you to say hello, [Bb] hardly [Gm] open my mouth
[Eb] Yeah, but you was like a sun, you were in the cold
You were [G] inseparable, [F] you were young
[Eb] And I'm full of my [F] fears, you were gonna [Eb] fool us all
[F]
Something [Eb] happened, I couldn't know [F] why
But that's the [Gm] way I got it, boys
[Bb]
I [Cm] suppose, what you [D] said
What you [Bb] do is gonna be nothing, nothing at all
I'm a party [Cm] animal, yeah, and all [D] the bothersome energy
[Bb] Got me broken in a time gone wrong, [D] now
You [Gm] tell my blessings, [D] bro, I got to [Gm] know the [Eb] truth
I don't [Bb] mean to offend anyone, [C] but
You know [F] something, I don't [Ab] know
[Bb] So nice to see you tonight, and I'm so glad that you came
[Bbm] So [G] many people understand us, [Bb] I say, [Db] just [Gm] listen
[Eb] Yeah, my phone rings around about week and time
And you [Gm] don't always forget, [F] cause the memory [Eb] never left
Shining [F] me on, to me, yeah, [Eb]
everything, everything [F] now
I know [Eb] it always will be [F] mine, and the one who takes [Gm] all is
[F] [Eb] [G] [Bb] [Gm] [Bb] [G]
[Bb] [G] [F] [Bb]
