I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared
    Asus4   Bm                        D
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds 
    D2&F#                             A   Asus4   A
But together we got good at stopping time 

A  Asus4      A  Asus4      C#m              D        A    
My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch 
Asus4   Bm                    D          D2&F#                     A   
Oh the pain I must have caused, but by staying around u saved my life

We were never meant to be lovers,    just fellow late bloomers 
    D2&F#       A   D       D2&F#       A  Asus4   
Who blossomed apart,    who blossomed apart

Watching my parents made me look for something destructive 
      D        A
and there you were 
Asus4         Bm                   D       D2&F#        A   Asus4   A
With all the characteristics of my mom, familiarity of home 

A  Asus4      A  Asus4          C#m                  D           A    
The geographic gap let to forced adulthood and your rage exposed 
 Asus4      Bm                     D            
I'm glad we left things when we did, 
            D2&F#                   A  Asus4   A
I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan 


D            D2&F#        F#m   D2&F#          A            D
We were never meant to be lovers,     we just mirrored each other's 
D2&F#            A   D    D2&F#            A  Asus4  
self destructiveness,     self destructiveness

A  Asus4      A  Asus4                         C#m              
The spotlight burned in the room when we were together 
         D         A
and we played our parts 
  Asus4       Bm              D           D2&F#                 A  Asus4  A  
And I wore an imaginary TV screen, so you never got to touch my heart 


D            D2&F#        F#m   D2&F#            A          D
We were never meant to be lovers,      our egos fed of each other 
    D2&F#      A   D       D2&F#       A  Asus4  A  Asus4  A
And died overweight,    and died overweight, 

A  Asus4    A  Asus4    A


A  Asus4      A  Asus4                 C#m                    D     A    
I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up 
   Asus4       Bm                           D         
And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself 
       D2&F#          (A)   
And you haven't ever stopped
