Another day, another sin

Another day, I'm late again
    Am                              Asus2
Oh, just like that my money's spent
Am                   Asus2
Where did it all go?
 C                           Cadd9
Another night, another heart
C                              Cadd9
Another one leaves in the dark
        Am                           Asus2
And I'm searching for my counterpart
Am                     Asus2
Where did they all go?

Am               Asus2
I would never be

  *Notes in parenthesis are inaudible or barely audible,
   but most likely played. Either play them very softly
   or omit them.

    F              Am C                             F
And I wish I could go back to playing barbies in my room
           Am  C                                 F
They never say that you gotta grow up quite this soon
                Am
How fast things change
    C                             F
And now I'm here, and all I wanna do

Is go back to playing barbies in my room

      C                           Cadd9
And I see it on my father's face
 C                                Cadd9
Another line that comes with age
Am                                 Asus2
I know that time will have its way
Am                   Asus2
Where did it all go?
     C                                Cadd9
They say that things were simple then
  C                             Cadd9
Although I don't remember when
  Am                           Asus2

Bridge: *strummed (except last bar)

Am                  C
  Pink canopies and grass-stained knees
        Em
Putting fireflies in a jar
        G
Getting home before it's dark
Am                      C
  Scotch-taping posters on my wall
        Em
Rolling pixie sticks to smoke
         F               G
Couldn't wait 'til I was older

How fast things change
    C                             F
