Capo : No Capo
G
you had people
Em C
who called you on unmarked numbers
in my peripheral vision..
G
i let it slide
Em C
like a hose on a slippery plastic summer
all was quickly forgiven..
G Em
you were so magnetic,
C
it was almost obnoxious
G
flush with the currency of cool..
Em C
i was always turning out my empty pockets
D
and when it came to you..
Chorus
G Bm
i.. didn't come here to make friends
C D
we were born.. to be suburban legends
G Bm
when you hold.. me, it holds me together
C
and you kiss me in a way
D
that's gonna screw me up forever..
G
i had the fantasy
Em C
that maybe our mismatched star signs..
would surprise the whole school..
G Em C
when i ended up back at our class reunion
walking in with you..
G Em
you'd be more than a chapter
C
in my old diaries..
with the pages ripped out..
G Em C
i am standing in a 1950s gymnasium..
D
and i can still see you now..
Chorus
G Bm
i.. didn't come here to make friends
C D
we were born.. to be suburban legends
G Bm
when you hold.. me, it holds me together
C
and you kiss me in a way
D
that's gonna screw me up forever..
G Bm
i.. know that you still remember
C D
we were born.. to be national treasures
G Bm
when you told.. me, we'd get back together
C
and you kissed me in a way
D
that's gonna screw me up forever..
G Em
tick tock on the clock,
C
i pace down your block
i broke my own heart
G
cause you were too polite to do it
Em
waves crash on the shore,
C
i dash to the door
you don't knock anymore,
G
and my whole life's ruined
Em
tick tock on the clock,
C
i pace down your block
i broke my own heart
G
cause you were too polite to do it
Em
waves crash to the shore,
C
i dash to the door
D
you don't knock anymore
G Bm C
and i always knew it..
D G Bm C D G
and my life had been ruined..
