C  Csus4    C  Csus4       Em           F           C     
I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared
    Csus4   Dm                        F
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds 
    F2/A                             C   Csus4   C
But together we got good at stopping time 

C  Csus4      C  Csus4      Em              F        C    
My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch 
Csus4   Dm                    F          F2/A                     C   
Oh the pain I must have caused, but by staying around u saved my life

F            F2/A        Am   F2/A      C            F
We were never meant to be lovers,    just fellow late bloomers 
    F2/A       C   F       F2/A       C  Csus4   
Who blossomed apart,    who blossomed apart

C  Csus4        C  Csus4           Em                          
Watching my parents made me look for something destructive 
      F        C
and there you were 
Csus4         Dm                   F       F2/A        C   Csus4   C
With all the characteristics of my mom, familiarity of home 

C  Csus4      C  Csus4          Em                  F           C    
The geographic gap let to forced adulthood and your rage exposed 
 Csus4      Dm                     F            
I'm glad we left things when we did, 
            F2/A                   C  Csus4   C
I doubt I'd survive another bloody moan 


F            F2/A        Am   F2/A          C            F
We were never meant to be lovers,     we just mirrored each other's 
F2/A            C   F    F2/A            C  Csus4  
self destructiveness,     self destructiveness

C  Csus4    C  Csus4    C


C  Csus4      C  Csus4                         Em              
The spotlight burned in the room when we were together 
         F         C
and we played our parts 
  Csus4       Dm              F           F2/A                 C  Csus4  C  
And I wore an imaginary TV screen, so you never got to touch my heart 


F            F2/A        Am   F2/A            C          F
We were never meant to be lovers,      our egos fed of each other 
    F2/A      C   F       F2/A       C  Csus4  C  Csus4  C
And died overweight,    and died overweight, 

C  Csus4    C  Csus4    C


C  Csus4      C  Csus4                 Em                    F     C    
I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up 
   Csus4       Dm                           F         
And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself 
       F2/A          C   
And you haven't ever stopped
