Lyrics

And (A)e ven though the mo ment passed me by,

I (F#m7)still can't turn a way.

I (A)saw the dreams you nev er thought you'd lose

get you (F#m7)tossed a long the way.

And (A)let ters that you nev er meant to send

get (F#m7)lost or thrown a way.

And (F#m7)now I called up or

phans, I (Dsus2)nev er knew their names,

who (F#m7)don't be long to no one.

That's a shame.

A (F#m7)You could hide be side

me,

(Dsus2)may be for a while,

and (F#m7)I won't tell no

one your (Dsus2)name.

And I won't tell 'em your (A)name.

The (A)scars are sou ve nirs you nev er lose,

the (F#m7)past is nev er far.

And (A)did you lose your self some where out there?

Did you (F#m7)get to be a star?

And (A)don't it make you sad to know that life

is (F#m7)more than who we are?

You (F#m7)grew up way too fast

and there's (Dsus2)noth ing to be lieve.

And (F#m7)re runs all be come our his to ry.

A (F#m7)tir ed song keeps play

on

(Dsus2)tir ed ra di o,

and (F#m7)I won't tell no

one your (Dsus2)name.

And I won't tell 'em your (A)name.

The

(F#m7)I won't tell (Esus)'em your name.
