Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Bm F♯ G D G D A

 DBmon't write me no morF♯e letters

 MGy mailbox is full ofD bombs

 BetweenG you and the kooksD on my blockA

 I don'Bmt remember the good tiF♯mes

 I wasn'tG there and you were kDind

 And my Gwife has some dDogs in our yaArd

 And IG cannot hold a caDndle for evAery prettBmy girl

 We wereG strangers many hourDs

 And I miAssed you for so long

 When we were Bmlions, lovers in comAbat

 Faded like your Gname on those jeans that I DbuArnGed

 But I am olDder nAow

 And we didBm it when we were yGoung

 I am oldeDr noAw

 And we didBm it when we were yGoung

There are no reasons to believe

I buried my faith in an unmarked plot

With your heart and your clothes

When I find that I don't feel you or recall

I'll put your bones out in the yard

Someone else to be called and called by

And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl

We were strangers many hours

And I missed you for so long

When we were lions, lovers in combat

Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned

But I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now

And we did it when we were young

I am older now
