Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 I saw John, he looked so sad

 I want you to know that I feel bad for not making our dreams come true

 We had so many dreams me and you

 I want you to know I love you

 You're my favorite thing from the past

 And all of those nights we spent together

 I never had such a blast....

Chorus

Anyone could tell you were my instrument

he said I understand you. You wanna play me

Everything about us had an innocence

 but everything around us was changing

Verse 2

 It's hard to believe so much happened so fast

Remember the way we always laughed

 While thinking of things to do

 We were kings of the world, me and you

 I wish it has stayed like that forever

 But everyone was dropping off like flies

 I had so many friends in rehab,

 A couple who practically died

Chorus 2

Anyone could tell you were my instrument

he said I understand you. You wanna play me

Everything about us had an innocence

 but everything around us was changing

Bridge

 And my mistake was being already married

I wanna make a leap of innocence to you

Verse 3

 I guess when you were living the high life

 It's one of those things that just can't last

 Kind of like love in California

 But I never had such a blast

Chorus 3

Anyone could tell you were my instrument

he said I understand you. You wanna play me

Everything about us had an innocence

 but everything around us was changing

Outro

My mistake is thinking I'd already made it

I wanna make a leap of innocence

My mistake is thinking you and I can change it

I wanna make a leap of innocence to you
