-----Intro-----
G+G C majorC
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G+G C majorC
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
-----Verse I-----
G+G
I don't want you anymore
C majorC
Summer's gone, and now I'm sure
G+G
The box behind my bed I've saved
C majorC
I took out with the trash today
G+G
Oh, the truth is: I've met someone new
C majorC
The truth is: you probably have, too
G+G
The truth is: I can't stand your face
C majorC
When I think of all the love we made
-----Chorus-----
G+G
Oh, we took a walk- we took a walk out by the Hudson River,
C majorC
The human breaks, you need to please, and make my shoulders shiver
G+G
You asked me, "Baby girl, how long until my heart recovers?"
C majorC
I'm sure the answer's "Never."
G+G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover
-----Interlude-----
G+G C majorC
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G+G C majorC
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
-----Verse II-----
G+G
No, I'm not the only girl to save
C majorC
Items past their expiration date
G+G
I sucked you up, 'til my stomach churned
C majorC
My throat closed, my eyes would burn
G+G
Someone told me that love was suppose to hurt
C majorC
But, now I've learned
G+G
And, I don't want this anymore
C majorC
Like hand-me-downs, waitin' by my door
G+G
I kept you around, but I don't know what for
-----Chorus-----
G+G
So, I took a walk all by myself from river side to south street
C majorC
It's 2 a.m.; I've let you in, and whenever your here, I can't sleep
G+G
Is there anyway to save you and me?
C majorC
Baby, now that I've discovered, enjoy takin' all my covers, this is your last sleep over
G+G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover
G+G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover
-----Outro-----
G+G C majorC
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G+G C majorC
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, No

What can I, what can I, what can I do what can I do?
-----Verse II-----
D MajorD
Oh, it's been a long time, but it's been about right

You're looking like you need a kiss or a fight

D MajorD
So, what can I, what can I do for you, honey?

(CAPO 3)
[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (C majorC , FF , G+G) with (D#D# , G#G# , A#A#)]
-----Verse I-----
C majorC
I walked by colorful sidewalk
C majorC
Children with buckets of pastel chalk
FF G+G
And I thought of you, my love I thought of you
-----Verse II-----
C majorC
So I walked until the sun went down
C majorC
I thought that no one else was around
FF C majorC
Until I saw you, my love until I saw you
-----Chorus-----
C majorC
My black, white life turns to color
G+G
But baby, I'm with another
FF G+G
When you pull out your suitcase of finger paints
C majorC
My cheeks burn red from your kisses
G+G
My blue heart shivers and misses
FF G+G
Your brushstrokes, a masterpiece made in the rain
C majorC G+G
Made to wash away
-----Verse III-----
FF
You build castles in the clouds,
G+G
when the sky was clear and blue
FF G+G
No one else sees cloud castles 'cept for me and you
FF G+G
And the grayness turns to glitter, with a laugh and a wink
FF G+G
All the buildings are outlined in orange, and gold and pink
-----Chorus-----
C majorC
My black, white life turns to color
G+G
But baby, I'm with another

(CAPO 4)
[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (C majorC , A minorAm , G+G , D MajorD) with (E MajorE , C# minorC#m , BB , 
F#F#)]
-----Verse I-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I found out I can't always get my way
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
So I'm giving up one of my dreams today
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
When we are children we look to the sky
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why
-----Verse II-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I dreamed I would find one who'd swim next to me
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And this called love and it's worth every reason
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Love is the cool and the warmth in each season
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But how does one love and what does one do
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
When the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you
-----Chorus-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But oh oh don't cry for me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Is just a sign I'm getting older
-----Verse III-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
He was a stoner and I'm like a light
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night
-----Chorus-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But oh oh don't cry for me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Is just a sign I'm getting older
-----Verse IV-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Oh they say to much smoking will change your taste
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Maybe that's why he's kissing some other girls face
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But I never dreamed of second place
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
So I'd rather just quit than continue to race
-----Chorus-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But oh oh don't cry for me
C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Is just a sign I'm getting older
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And oh oh I am singing on stage
C majorC G+G D MajorD
But it doesn't mean I know much better
G+G A minorAm G+G
Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Some days dreaming and some days a quitter
-----Verse V-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
After I held him and begged him to stay
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And after my dream will drown out to a whisper
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures
-----Verse VI-----
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And after I erased our names from the sky
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Stopped wondering how and asking why
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
But the truth is I'm ripped and I'm sad and I'm tired
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
I'm a loser in love and an abandoner of dreams
C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G
And today I have up the one for him, and me
-----End-----

-----Verse I-----
G+G C majorC
Its unclear now what we intend
G+G C majorC
We're alone in our own world
G+G C majorC
And you don't want to be my boyfriend
G+G C majorC
And I don't want to be your girl
-----Chorus-----
G+G D MajorD
And that, that's a relief
A minorAm
We'll drink up our grief
C majorC
And pine for summer
G+G D MajorD
And we'll buy a beer to shotgun
A minorAm
And we'll lay in the lawn
C majorC
And we'll be good
-----Verse II-----
G+G C majorC
Now I'm laughing at my boredom
G+G C majorC
And my string of failed attempts
G+G C majorC
Cause you think that its important
G+G C majorC
And I welcome the sentiment
-----Chorus-----
G+G D MajorD
And we'll talk on the phone at night
A minorAm C majorC
Until its daylight and I feel clever
G+G D MajorD
Then I hear a slow in your speech
A minorAm
Yeah your half asleep
C majorC
Say goodnight
-----Interlude-----
G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC
Ooh Ahh Ooh Ahh
G+G D MajorD A minorAm C majorC
Ooh Ahh Ooh Ahh
-----Verse III-----
G+G C majorC
Now I've got friendships to mend
G+G C majorC
And I'm selfishly dispossessed
G+G C majorC
You don't wanna be my boyfriend
G+G C majorC
And it's probably for the best
-----Chorus-----
G+G D MajorD
Cause that, that gets messy
A minorAm
And you will hurt me
C majorC
Or I'll disappear
G+G D MajorD
So we will drink beer all day
A minorAm
And our guards will give way
C majorC
And we'll be good
G+G
And we'll be good
-----End-----
