Lyrics

I did n’t want to be the one to for get.

I thought of ev ’ry thing I’d nev er re gret.

A lit tle time with you is all that I get.

That’s all we need be cause it’s all we can take.

One thing I nev er see the same when you’re ’round:

I don’t be lieve in him his lips on the ground.

I wan na take you to that place in the ‘Roche’.

But no one gives us an y time an y more.

He ask me once if I’d look in on his dog.

You made an of fer for it then you ran off.

I got this pic ture of us kids in my head.

And all I hear is the last thing that you said.

“I (A#m)lis tened to your prob lems.

Now lis ten to mine.” I did n’t (G#)want to an y more.

Oh.

And we will nev er be (G#)a lone (F#)a gain ’cause it does n’t hap (E#m)pen ev er (D#m)y day.

Kind a count ed on (A#m)you be ing (G#)a friend.

(E#m)Can I give it up or give it a way?

Now I though a bout (G#)what I wan (F#)na say but I nev er real (E#m)ly know where (D#m)to go.

So I chained my (A#m)self to (G#)a friend.

(E#m)’Cause I know it un locks like a door.

And we will nev er be (G#)a lone (F#)a gain ’cause it does n’t hap (E#m)pen ev er (D#m)y day.

Kind a count ed on (A#m)you be ing (G#)a friend.

(E#m)Can I give it up or give it a way?

Now I though a bout (G#)what I wan (F#)na say but I nev er real (E#m)ly know where (D#m)to go.

So I chained my (A#m)self to (G#)a friend.

So a (F#)lone a gain...

It did n’t mat ter what they want ed to see.

He thought he saw some one that looked just like me.

The sum mer mem o ry that just nev er dies.

We worked too long and hard to give it no time.

He sees right through me.

It’s so eas y with lies.

Cracks in the road that I would try and dis guise.

He runs his scis sors at the seam in the wall.

He can not break it down or else he would fall.

He ask me once if I’d look in on his dog.

You made an of fer for it then you ran off.

I got this pic ture of us kids in my head.

And all I hear is the last thing that you said.

“I (A#m)lis tened to your prob lems.
