I want to remember

That scene in the car park
E         A  D  A
 That I still regret

I ran away crawling 'cause I fall every time I look back

  E
I stood on the shoulder with tears in my eyes

      A
I drink tequila
E             A   D  A
 And watch the game in the bar

I don't care who loses
E           A    D  A
 I don't know who the teams are


♫ Chorus:
      D
We had our time

But the bells finally tolled

And my Ohio winter
E         A  D  A
 Was finally too cold
