  Look out your window
Gm7                 C
 You'll catch me crying
Bb           F/A      Gm7             Csus4
  Sulking in silence, sitting in the car
F           Bb  F/A  Gm7
  Cold Colorado
           C
I'm off to college
Bb               F/A            Gm7              Csus4
  You're hanging hostage, still working at the bar

Pre-Chorus:
       Eb              Bb               F        C
Do you always get this nervous in the spring, my dear?
         Eb        Bb          C7sus4 C7
Tell me, is it any easier this year?

Chorus:
         Bb                     F          C
Though I tried my best, there's no forgetting you
       Bb                 F                 C    Dm
Had it all worked out but life had plans for you too
        Bb             F
Since I made it out of this small town
  C                 Gm
I figured you would stick around
      Bb        F/A         Gm7    C    F
But I can't get back what I almost had with you

Post-Chorus:
Bb F/A Gm7
   Uh
       C               Bb  F  Gm7  C
What I almost had with you

Verse 2:
F                Bb  F/A
  I'm too shy to talk
Gm7             C
  So we took a walk
Bb            F                 Gm7                C
  Too dumb to make you laugh, instead I pissed you off
F                  Bb  F/A
  I'll quit making noise
Gm7                C
  To hang with the boys
Bb          F/A         Gm7              C7sus4
  Making excuses, doing things I don't enjoy

Pre-Chorus:
       Eb              Bb                  F     C
Do you always get this nervous in the spring, my dear?
         Eb        Bb           C7sus4 C7
Tell me, is it any easier this year?

Chorus:
         Bb                     F          C
Though I tried my best, there's no forgetting you
       Bb                 F                 C    Dm
Had it all worked out but life had plans for you too
        Bb             F
Since I made it out of this small town
  C                Gm
I figured you would stick around
      Bb        F/A         Gm7    C    F
But I can't get back what I almost had with you

What I almost had with you

Outro:
F                      Bb
Four more days 'til we last speak
        Gm7                       C
After a track meet, you're in the front
           Bb               F
I'm in the backseat of your best friend's truck
        C
When he turns and he says "Who's the curly-headed fuck "
          Bb               F
And I was way too young to realize
                   Gm7
What's dead in the winter
   C
Is gone by the springtime
             Bb                     F
You can just drop me by the stop sign
  Gm7                     C
I know it's cold, I'll be fine
