♫ 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

That's the sad side of a party

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

         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
