[Verse]
C#m                   B                A                  B
Okkervil River on the radio, you never heard them before
C#m                             B                         A                  B
Remember when your dad gave you hell and you cried on the bathroom floor
C#m                                B                  A          B
And we saved all our money for the day we'd up and get away
C#m                         B                    A          B
We never said sorry, no, we never felt bad about anything

[Chorus]
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oooooooh
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oooooooh

[Verse 2]
C#m                     B                      A                  B
Winter rolled in like a hurricane, boy, and it knocked me around
C#m                             B                  A                  B
The days grew thin, I was on my bike, watching the lights come down
C#m                      B             A                  B
Older man comes, saying "Why you gotta be so loud?
C#m                             B                  A                  B
Don't you know mister, there's no where to go in this one-way town

[Bridge]
                E                 A
Except straight down, down like a falling wind
        C#m            B
We were young, we were broke
       A                        E                  A
We had everything, so forget-me-not for when I was fifteen
      C#m        B            A
I was shy, I was green, I had everything
      E
I had everything

[Interlude]
           C#m   B    A    B
(Oh-nah-nah-oh,
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oh,
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oh...)

[Chorus]
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oh
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oh
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oh
           C#m   B    A    B
Oh-nah-nah-oh

[Outro]
E              A
   Down like a tired day
      C#m             B        A
I've'a broken all the promises made
            E                       A
To not grow up, to keep hold of the simple things
         C#m   B              A
For when I was fifteen, I had everything
      E
