Verse:
D MajorD               F# minorF#m
Summer in Suburbia we'd catch fireflies
     B minorBm            A augmentedA
Put them in a jar and watch them die
D MajorD              F# minorF#m
You and me baby we could of gone so far
      B minorBm                  A augmentedA
Could have had two cars and lived a sweet sweet lie

Chorus:
E minorEm                         D MajorD
And everyone's telling me now that you were just my best friend
E minorEm                    A augmentedA
And how can I explain to them that some things never end

Verse:
D MajorD              F# minorF#m
And the years go by and the lights go dim
       B minorBm               A augmentedA
And when she thinks of him does she start to cry

Instrumental:
D MajorD F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA  D MajorD F# minorF#m B minorBm A augmentedA

Verse:
D MajorD                         F# minorF#m
And there must have been a thousand times I could have had your hand
       B minorBm                   A augmentedA
I could have been your man, you could have been my light
D MajorD                  F# minorF#m
And the reasons why they don't count anymore
      B minorBm            A augmentedA
I put them in a drawer the night we died

Chorus:
E minorEm                 D MajorD
And all those books that tell you just what to do
E minorEm                     A augmentedA
They don't matter now because I think you always knew

Verse:
D MajorD                   F# minorF#m
And the children run and play and they mark the time
      B minorBm           A augmentedA
Before they get in line with me and you

Instrumental:
