[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse]
G
Every time I use to hang out with her
Em
I would close my eyes and smile
G
Sprawl out and say: "I love that girl"
Em
I was just a little school boy
[Chorus]
C Dsus4
Afraid to shatter that one way mirror
Em Dsus4 Cadd#11
For the essence of my youth
C Dsus4
Take the brunt of reality
G Em
Like a knock-out punch to the jaw
[Verse]
G
Not so long ago I ran into her
Em
She lives with one of my friends now
G
He loves her, and she loves him
Em
And part of me still that little school boy
[Chorus]
C Dsus4
We talked all night about tattooes
Em Dsus4 Cadd#11
And the way we used to be
C Dsus4
The sun came up, and it was time for me to sleep
[Interlude]
G Em G Em
[Verse]
G
Waved goodbye to them and went upstairs
Em
Just to lay my poor head down
G
Just before i fell asleep I saw the door open
Em
And it was her
G
She had nostalgia chokes in her eyes.
Em
She layed down next me
G
And held me between her breasts
Em
And whispered into my ear:
[Chorus]
C Dsus4
"I love you boy". I whispered back:
Em Dsus4 Cadd#11
"Oh I still love you too"
C Dsus4
I meant it, then she got up and left
[Outro]
G Em C Dsus4
Ooo-oo
Em Dsus4 Cadd#11
C Dsus4
Ooo-oo-oo-
G Em
oooooooo-oo-oo
G Em
Ooo-oo-oo-oo
G
I lay there barely breathing, embracing the silence.
[Riffs]
If you want to learn the song in a little more dept, the core idea of some of the guitar work follows.
The dead notes are done by slapping the strumming hand thumb.
