Verse

A cherry bomb, you are a mystery

Exploded, sparkling quiet nights

My teenage heart packed all my misery, baby

To fingertips that might ignite

And all along you knew my story, didn't you

And all night long I carried yours

Your blood was mixed wine and robbery, baby

And left us always wanting more

Chorus

So don't sing me your songs about the good times

Those days are gone and you should just let them go

And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

Intro played once

Verse

Cherry bomb, your love is surgery

Removing what you don't regard

And every breath felt like a funeral, baby

While you were packing up your car

And with the window down I hear your tired mouth

You borrowed everything and wore all your old welcomes out

And shame on you, my love you sold your youth away

Memories are sinking ships that never would be saved

Riff played once

Chorus

So don't sing me your songs about the good times

Those days are gone and you should just let them go

And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

Bridge

And shame, shame, shame, shame on you

You kept your mind and heart and youth

Just like a tomb

And shame, shame, shame, shame on you

You kept your mind and heart and youth

 Just like a tomb

 Just like a tomb

 Just like a tomb

 Just like a tomb

Chorus

So don't sing me your songs about the good times

Those days are gone and you should just let them go

And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts

So don't sing me your songs about the good times

Those days are gone and you should just let them go

And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when

And God help the man who says if you'd have known me when

And God help this man My baby, if you'd have known me when

Old haunts are all we've ever known

That's it
