Chords with lyrics
♫ Verse:
G
I knew a boy who lived only three doors down
C
I used to sit by my window watch him skate around
Am
the corner making figures of eights around the traffic cones
C
bought myself a pair of skates
D
so he wouldn't be alone
G
This boy and I became the best of friends
C
next day I brought him inside and opened up the fridge
Am
Coke or Pepsi anything that you need
C D
honestly it's quite refreshing just to have you next to me
♫ Chorus:
C G
Fast forward four years we're 17
Em
He is the envy of all
D
dancing with the prom queen
C
And I'm in the corner
G
dying of boredom
Em D
catching light from the shine of his girlfriend's tiara
C G
But beauty fades and charm is deceit
Em D
one day he'll look back and realize it was me who
C G
put band-aids on his scraped knees and flesh wounds’
Em
shared slurpees and grape juice
Em
told all his secrets to
♫ Verse 2:
G
I know a boy who lived only 3 doors down
C
we used to race through the streets of this little town
Am
but now we're only racing apart
C
it's only breaking my heart
D
can we take it back to the start?
