[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Summer sand stuck to my fingers

Summer song stuck in my head

Sleeping out in half-built houses

Fireworks bursting above our bed
D C
I felt like a king on Independence Day
[Chorus]
G
We faced the future, eyes wide open

Crossed all our hearts before they were broken

Said our goodbyes, nothing was spoken
D
You can't go back
C G D E C ~ ~
You were the best intention I ever had
[Verse 2]
G
In the glow of graduation
C
Took the stage and sat back down
G
And after that we knew so little
C
Posing in your cap and gown
D C
you smiled, no one is immune from change
[Chorus]

We faced the future, eyes wide open

Crossed all our hearts before they were broken

Said our goodbyes, nothing was spoken

You can't go back

You were the best intention I ever had
[Bridge]
Em G
We came too late
D
Broke down the door and faced the outcome
Em G
And you stayed so still
Am
Took you in and turned their lights on
C
We stood staring from your front lawn
[Chorus]
G
We faced the future, eyes wide open
C
Crossed all our hearts before they were broken
G
Said our goodbyes, but nothing was spoken
D
You can't go back
C
No, you can't go back
D
You can't go back
C
No, you can't go back
[Chorus]
G
We faced the future, eyes wide open
C
Crossed all our hearts before they were broken
G
Said our goodbyes, but nothing was spoken
D
You can't go back
C G D E C ~ ~
You were the best intention I ever had

You were the best intention I ever had
[Outro]

You were, you were

You were, you were

You were the best intention I ever had

Before it gets too cold

The old man is leaving

And a longer day's begun

Track 3 - The Growing Up Boy
[Intro]
C F C
[Verse 1]
F C
Friends wear the scars of the lessons you learned
F C
And you sit by the embers of the bridges you've burned
G F C
We all have a story and we each take a turn
Dm F C F C
Laughing at all of your shit
[Verse 2]
F C
And everyone is just somebody you knew
F C
And you never mean harm by the things that you do
G F C
But saying it through tears, don't make it true
Dm F C
Just makes it hard to forget it
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F G C
Growing up boy
[Verse 3]
F C
It's heartache, it's heartbreak, it's dark clouds and then
F C
It's a day of self-pity and he's on the mend
G F C
He finds true love for the first time again
Dm F C
When the memory of the last girl lapses
[Verse 4]
F C
And he wakes up half-hearted and he looks at his phone
F C
For a message to remind him that he's not alone
G F C
And he always has many, but none are from home
Dm F C F
So he goes back to bed and collapses
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F
Growing up boy
[Instrumental]
C F C
[Verse 5]
F C
'Each day is your birthday', is what I wrote in a card
F C
To say a kind word, I just found it too hard
G F C
I erased what I meant, so just disregard
Dm F C
Make what you want of this form
[Verse 6]
F C F C
Love is not like the songs that you sing
F C
How could you complain when it don't mean a thing
G F C
You can steal every verse and you break every string
Dm F C
And there's no one around when you're done
[Chorus]
G F C
And the growing up boy, he never grows up
G F C
He's taunted by fear and haunted by love
Dm F C
Too late to learn, you've taken enough
F C
Growing up boy, grow up

[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]

Lift your harpoon, the white whale is dead

And didn't even scratch the paint
Em D G
We don't even know your name
[Verse 4]
C G
Hey baby, let's turn this thing around

I'm ready to burn the old barn down

It could have filled a book
