On
August first, [Fmaj#11]nineteen
Eighty-one [Fmaj#11]
I cycled to Scott's [Fmaj#11]house with a BB [Fmaj#11]gun
We were almost twelve, [Fmaj#11]but
We looked thirteen [Fmaj#11]
He had baby-blue eyes [Fmaj#11]that I shot him bet[Fmaj#11]ween
Nature provides for us a safety net
Whatever we do, we can never forget
Chorus
I live with it every day
Even though we moved away
Our yesterdays are on a loop;
A marathon of heartbreaking moments
(same chords as first verse)
The day they found me asleep on the floor
Engine running, closed garage door
Was the day the for sale sign arrived on the lawn
Two weeks later, and we were gone
Everyone falls through time and the funnel it makes
But I'm staying here inside my biggest mistake
Chorus
I live with it every day
Even though we moved away
Our yesterdays are on a loop;
A marathon of heartbreaking moments
I live with it every day
For every step I have to pay
The only thing that they cant take
The guild that spirals in my wake
Bridge
The love I put away
Like games that children play
The hearts you choose to break
Like cars dumped in the lake
The laugh lines on your face
The life I won't embrace
The cold house I won't leave
The guests I won't receive
Repeat Full Chorus
end on A
