      G            Am
I was new in town, kinda of goth

  G              C
I met you in the science quad

     D             Em
You asked if I had any pot

                   C
We're going up to Mikey's spot


  G       Am
Covering important ground

  G                   C
I tried cocaine in my cousin's house

            D         Em
Yeah, I'm probably addicted now

                          C
The things that children lie about

           G             Am
I didn't notice it was getting late

     G           C
You offered me a place to stay

    D              Em
We live up in the palisades

                    D   C
Tell your folks you ran away

         G        Am       Em
Besides, you're a Northsider now

 D#dim     G    A   C          G Gsus G Gsus    
Nothing's going to change it, pal

G           Am
We were so pretentious then

G                   C
Didn't trust the government

 D                 Em
Said that we were communists

                       C
And thought that we invented it

 G          Am
Morrissey apologists

 G        C
Amateur psychologists

 D         Em
Serial monogamists

                      C
We went to different colleges

         G                  Am
But you said that we would always be

 G               C
Branches on the same old tree

 D                 Em             D   C
Reaching away from each other for eternity

         C   G   Am           Em
And you know I can't argue with that

D#dim     G  A  C      G Gsus G Gsus
Nothing's going to change it now

    G                  Am
We could have had one last hurrah

     G                     C
When I was working in the smoothie shop

      D                 Em
But I couldn't get the weekend off

                           C
She told me I was getting soft

            G                Am
I read an article about the accident

  G                       C
Probably reaching for cigarettes

                D               Em
And missed the brake lights up ahead

                          C
I hope it was an instant death

             G              Am
Sometimes I imagine us way down the line

        G                     C
Getting fat somewhere in the countryside

      D                          Em
It's crazy how things shake out sometimes

           C  G  Am             Em
But maybe that's enough magic for me
