Verse 1:
B Gb A E
When I was young I had imaginary friends
B Gb A
and boy did we have fun
B Gb A E
One day my mother told me they were just pretend
B Gb A
and then I had no one
B Gb A E
Building castles out of dirty smelly sand
B Gb A
and baking in the sun
B Gb A E
Hear the sound of the pop-sicle man
B Gb A
and we'd run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Chorus:
E
And My life is like a movie
B
everyone is going slow
E
There's a crazy cast of characters
B
none of which are real at all
A E
and I cannot feel you anymore
E
No, no, no, no, no
Post-chorus:
Chord Progression: played the same way as the intro chords
Tab: same as intro tab
Verse 2: (no chords played during this verse)
In the summer, we will spend the night outside
in the comfort of our own backyards
Then we got older and we went our seperate ways
and everything got hard
Bridge:
B Gb A E
Look at me, I'm getting older
B Gb A
Look at me, I know
B Gb A E
Look at me, I'm getting older
B Gb A
Look at me, I know
