Like the light was all I had

 I struck the book with my last match

The candle burned so soft and slow

 I felt the warmth and felt its glow

Salt tasting tears

 They roll of of my lips

 One for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trap

 One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love

 Won't let it pass me by again

 Won't let it pass me by again

The grass was clipped

The summer sun

Was beating down on my front yard

All the boys and girls would laugh

 I'd watch them through the curtain's crack

Place all your bets and watch me lose

The life that I got but never used

Dream every night that one will come true

 But only bad ones ever do

 Won't let it pass me by again

 Won't let it pass me by again

NOTE: Hold the D for a while, Then switch back and forth between a D and G.

My heart beats way too fast

 To let regret sit in my lap

 Won't let it pass me by again

 Won't let it pass me by again

(Won't let this pass me by again)

 Won't let it pass me by again

(Won't let this pass me by again)

 Won't let it pass me by again
