G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|--0-----0-----0-----0--------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|

G|-----------------------2-----------------------------|
D|-----1-----------1-----------1-----------1-----------|
A|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|

B|-----------2-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|--0-----0-----0-----0--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------0-----0-----0-----0--------|

and all the people that we'd loved

B|-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--------|

and all the people that we'd wronged
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|

E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----1-----------1-----------1-----------1-----------|
A|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

B|-----------2-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|--0-----0-----0-----0--------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|

A|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

nails on a chalkboard every time

B|-----------2-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|--0-----0-----0-----0--------------------------------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--------|

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|

i tucked your hair behind you ears
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------0-----------------------------|
G|-----------2-----------------------2-----------2-----|
D|-----1-----------1-----------1-----------1-----------|
A|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

and i watched your eyes dart back and forth
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------2-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|--0-----0-----0-----0--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------0-----0-----0-----0--------|

B|-----------------------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--------|

the trees were shaking at their roots
E|-----------0-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|

my angry arms felt cool and calm
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------0-----------------------0-----|
G|-----------2-----------------------2-----------------|
D|-----1-----------1-----------1-----------1-----------|
A|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

and my cotton mouth was well with you
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------2-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|--0-----0-----0-----0--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------0-----0-----0-----0--------|

so we lay glowing in the grass
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--------|

to watch the sun swap with the moon
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-----------2-----------2-----------2-----------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|

to trade our future for our past
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------0-----------------------------|
G|-----------2-----------------------2-----------2-----|
D|-----1-----------1-----------1-----------1-----------|
A|--2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

the present tense was all we knew
