• Capo on 1st

🎸 Intro:

G    D    Em    C



🎸 Verse 1:
G
 Tick tock the clock goes forward
Dsus4        D
Guess that’s how they’re built
Em
Know more about moving on
 C
Than I guess I ever will
G

 But I’m a violent weed
 Dsus4     D
Or so I have been told
Em
So I still like to think
 C
That you knew my ghost


🎸 Chorus:
 G
Maybe I haunted you, like you haunted me
 D
Where wisteria grew on our wild bare feet
 Em
Where you left me like a legacy
C
Begging you to change your mind
 G
And it’s not just me who shines the glass
 D
Of the sacred scenes in our sunset past
 Em
Where I said in my head “we were made to last”
C
Right before you said goodbye


🎸 Chorus:
G
Summer dress spun round a kitchen
D
Sunburnt legs, know I was a vision
Em
Please say it hurt, yeah just a bit
 C
That it left a bruise cause we both know it did


🎸 Verse 2:
G
I wasted all that youth
D
Trying on strangers’ clothes
Em
 To find the version of me
 C
You loved on the drive home
G
A new day creeping in
 D
Cause you can’t outrun the dawn
 Em
And how you kinda came back
 C
That was kinda hard to come back from

 C                      D
That it left a bruise cause we both know it did
G
Manual car stopped by the water
D
Made me laugh, knew I was a goner
Em
Please say it hurt, salt in the wound
 C
If you say it didn’t I guess I’ll burn the books
G            D
I guess I’ll burn the books
Em         C  D
I guess, I, I

G                                            D
I’ve been meaning to retire a bunch of these songs
anyway
Em                                           C
Not that anyone really cares what I have to say

But either way
