G                        C
Don't believe everything happiness says
G                        C
Nothing feels better than hiding these days
G           C            G                C
We bury our fears in the drinks and these tears
        Em      D                 C   Dsus
For the days we believed we could fly

G                         C
Call up your brothers and sisters and friends
         G                           C
We'll go back to the place where the night never ends
       G           C          G           C
We'll remember the fires, the burning car tires
     Em         D               C    Dsus
Boy, how in the hell did we get here?

Chorus:
    G                     C
So, why don't you meet me down behind our old school?
      G                           Em      D
We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how
G                            C
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity
    G
The apathy surrounding me
Em               D             G  C   G  Em D
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away

Verse:
G                 C
Over and over and over again
   G                      C
We sat down for a minute, grew up into men
          G           C         G            C
Now we're putting out fires and changing car tires
     Em         D               C    Dsus
Man, how in the hell did we get here?

Chorus:
    G                     C
So, why don't you meet me down behind our old school?
      G                           Em      D
We'll waste away the weekend with perfect regard for how
G                            C
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity
    G
The apathy surrounding me
Em               D             F      C       G
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time
          D                       F     C
And we'll never get back what we gave away
        D
When we still have that fire in our eyes

Verse:
G                        C
Don't believe everything happiness says
G                       C
Nothings as real as our old, reckless ways
          G            C          G           C
When we'd drink by the fires, the burning car tires
    G              C          G           C
Bad girls and good liars, the dreams we'd conspire
    Em           D          G               C
The days we went crazy, the nights wild and hazy
     Em         D               C    Dsus
Man, how in the hell did we get here?

Chorus:
    G                     C

G                            C
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity
    G
The apathy surrounding me
Em               D
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away, away, away

     G                     C
