D Bm G



♫ Verse 1:
   D
One minute your dad's holdin' you up in the sky
      Bm      F#m
And you're smilin' over Superman teachin' you to fly
     G            D
And the ground and tomorrow seem so far away
    Em       A
He's invincible and you're his protege
      D
Then you come down, turn around, fast forward 20 years
   Bm               F#m
The lines on his face say things you don't wanna hear
     G                  D
And you do the math and make a wish when he blows out his candles
   Em
But father time keeps on tickin' on the mantle

♫ Chorus:
      D        F#m
That's the bad thing about good shit
      Bm       G
That's the sad side of a party
       D           F#m
You go from golden polaroid memory shakin'
         Bm             G
To reminiscin' listenin' to your breakin' heart beat
      D        F#m
That's the hangover from a concert
      Bm          G
When that bus rolls it leaves a bittersweet hurt
      D    F#m    Bm    G
That's the bad thing  about good shit

♫ Verse 2:
     D
She was heaven in my Blazer, high school 🏷Legendary
   Bm                       F#m
Swore on that cross hangin' off my rearview we were gonna get married
     G              D
Cause if we weren't in the back seat tearin' T-shirts
    Em
We were on the phone sayin' "nah... you hang up first"
   D
But somethin' happened that day we threw our caps in the air
    Bm                F#m
And we grew out of a love I thought we'd always wear
       G                 F#m
Through the grapevine she's doin' fine and I'm busy with the band
Em                           A
Sometimes I look her up in that yearbook just cause I can... damn
