Intro C F Am G C F C F Am F Am G C F There was nothing you could do but turn away C F They told the fathers to hide all the girls away Am F C F It's just a name, a name, a name, a name, what's in a name? C F And you were sleeping by the time I found you there Am G I said “It's a shame we got to cut off all that hair…” C F C F But it's all right I just hope it's nothing bad Am F C F You can call me if you're sad I don't care what you father said C F C F Am F Am G C F We were running through the halls of the middle school C F Writing our names on the sides of the public pool Am F C F Like two ghosts in flight on a sleepless night, we were alive C F And you told me you were scared of suicide Am G On the night that your best friend's brother died C F C F But it's all right I just hope it's nothing bad Am F C F You can call me if you're sad I don't care what you father said C F C F Am F Am G (Not sure about the bridge, doesn't sound great with just chords anyway)
C F And I was lost in you dancing around in your living room C F You said your mother's in the back on Valium Am F C F And she sleeps so hard that you wonder if she is alive C F And so I parked my bike outside your house C F You said, “There's nothing you could do to make me come out” Am F C F Because your daddy said I was the worst one yet, it was a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie C F ‘Cause I always loved the way you looked in the firing line Am G Just dancing around in some old sweater of mine C F C F But it's all right I just hope it's nothing bad Am F C F You can call me if you're sad I don't care what you father said C F C F This is not a game. It would be a crying shame Am F C F I mean, honestly, what's in a name? Tell me, what's in a name, a name, a name C F C F Am F Am G Oh we were so young we were so wrong C F C F Am F Am G
