CAPO ON 1st FRET

Oooh Oooh Ooh Ooh Oooh
Ooh Ooh Oooh Ooooooooh…

[verse 1]
Man I hate this town
So I’m looking for the only way out
And the life I wanted years ago was maybe not the life I should’ve found

I still live for sound
But lately all the people seem to talk too loud
And my feet are on the ground but all the words I say are coming out like clouds

And they all know my name (oh, oh)
And I don’t want the same, so I guess I’d better go

All those nights wasted on the speed of sound
I still think that I just might come around
For one more

[repeat intro]
Oooh Oooh Ooh Ooh Oooh
Ooh Ooh Oooh Ooooooooh…

[verse 2]
It’s always nice to blame
But sometimes this life is certain like your name
And the louder that the songs get played, the more those songs will start to sound the same

And I’m afraid I’ll stay
It’s not because of all the things that you would say
It’s ‘cause every time I fall in love is another time I watch you walk away

And I’m not the same (oh, oh)
’cause now I can’t change, so I guess I’d better go

All those nights wasted on the speed of sound
I still think I just might come around
For one more

All those nights wasted on the speed of sound
I think I might just not be around
For one more

[outro – repeat intro]
Oooh Oooh Ooh Ooh Oooh
Ooh Ooh Oooh Ooooooooh…

Verse:
When we were younger we had nothing to do
so we’d close our eyes and spin around in circles
happy to hit the ground
or happy to just fall down

When we were younger we’d go down to the park
we’d catch all the fireflies we’d put ‘em in jars
we never knew that they’d die we never really thought that far

Chorus X1
I’m not the kid you knew
im not the kid you remember

When we were younger we were scared of the dark
so we closed our eyes we pulled the sheets over our heads
we didn’t want to see what’s there
like the shadows under the bed

And now that I’m older I look back on those days
I wish I had them back cuz the shadows are gone
or at least they’re not that strong
as the shadows in my head

Chorus X2

Bridge:
In 1985 there was a picture taken with my name on it
climbin’ an apple tree with blue shoes
You’d think it was me I could swear it was you

Chorus X4
