Verse 1:
Ruined again what did I do?
I’ve been caught up and
distracted by you
I held the moment in
the palm of my hand
and watched it crumble
I tried to understand
how you could be so
normal And I could be
so awkward day [F/A]af–ter day[F/A]
I hate to break the bad
news but I am nothing like
you Still [F/A]you
call [F/A]me all day

Refrain:
Why is it that you
touch me like you
want me And you
look me in the eyes
like you’ve never
seen a boy before
a boy before me

Chorus 1:
Meet me at the back door
so we can talk more
Now I’m asking myself
what I broke your heart
for I never wanted
to embarrass you or say
anything that wasn’t true
Left me wide open eating
out of your hand I
watched your car leave
I didn’t understand

Verse 2:
How I could be so stupid
how it got so confusing
Still [F/A]ten-sion in[F/A] the
air If you want to hurt

me Then you should just
desert me now [F/A]since
you [F/A]are aware

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 2:
Meet me at the back door
so we can talk more
Have we both really
changed for the better?
Now I’m asking myself
what I broke
your heart for
I count the hours
until we’re together
come on
Meet me at the back door
so we can talk more
Now I’m asking myself
what I broke
your heart for

Bridge:

I’ll most likely
spend tonight alone
I’d throw a party
but no one would come

Verse 3:
I’ll be waiting outside
until your car pulls up
With butterflies slicing
holes in my gut
I don’t want to

ruin this a——gain

Have we both really
changed for the better?
I count the hours
until we’re together

Chorus 3:
Meet me at the back door
so we can talk more
Now I’m asking myself
what I broke
your heart for

Verse 1:
Get it together
get a grip
take a breath
every time I
leave I won’t be
as bad as the next
feeling sick in the
chest don’t know where
I’m going and it couldn’t
mean less have a smoke
take a walk nothing’s
gonna work out as easy
as you thought and
it must be my fault
sometimes when I’m
drinking I spit
when I talk[A–]

Chorus 1:
Forget everything that
you were about to say
shut your pretty mouth
and let’s just go away
together and I’ll
love you like I do
and nothing will
get hold of you
shut your pretty
mouth and let’s just
go away together

Verse 2:
Try to remember
you were sick don’t
forget no one by

your side but I
still never left It’s
as bad as it gets
you think it sucks
well you’d never guess
And it hurts when I
walk tried to run home
it was never a thought
and it must be my fault
something else is always
on my mind when I talk[A–]

Chorus 2:
Forget everything that
you were about to say

mouth and let’s just

be reminded when
I first showed up
you were so excited
and we were falling
behind but I just
followed you here
I just followed you
here When you first
showed up Start
number this was
a wrong song

Chorus 3:
Forget everything that
you were about to say
shut your pretty mouth
and let’s just go away

get hold of you
shut your pretty
mouth and let’s just
go away shut your
pretty mouth and

CAPO 3

—————————————————————–

Walking on the grass and I’ve never seen this town.
My head is feeling and heavy and it’s pointing straight down.
Remember when I left and you said that you’ll miss me forever.
Give me a chance to explain, what I did was in vein.
I think we need some rules, It will never be the same.
But I don’t care to look straight ahead cause I’m bleeding forever.

Hey, I want you to [(E7)]stay, I want you to stay right where I left you.
Hey, I want you to [(E7)]stay, I want you to stay right where you are.

Trying to make it work and we’re loosing all our grace.
I wish we could go back to that very first place.
Now I think I ruined our lives and it’s weird now forever.
Seems you can’t forget all the things that I said.
Wasting all your time when your wishing you were dead.
Ever since you knocked me down, I’ve been limping forever.

Hey, I want you to [(E7)]stay, I want you to stay right where I left you.
Hey, I want you to [(E7)]stay, I want you to stay right where you are.

I can feel the breeze by the trees in the park.
A friend is everything I’m not fit for the part.
Give me a chance to explain what I did was in vein.
The words I said to you will never fix the

Broken hearts and fading memories.
Driving in the summer, changing of leaves.
I never hurt you, I just let go.
Put the past inside a tempo.
I’d look straight ahead
But I don’t see the end.

Hey, I want you to [(E7)]stay, I want you to stay right where I left you.
Hey, I want you to [(E7)]stay, I want you to stay right where you are.

End on C

Verse 1:

Riding a couch in
the dark all night
Just the television
It’s a glowing blue
light If the day is over
and I failed I tried
If I told you that
it’s alright I lied and I’m
Riding a couch in
the dark, all night
Yes I see my future
and it doesn’t look bright
If I take the easy way out
I’ll lie and live this rerun
over for the hundredth time

Verse 1:
In more ways then one
I’ve been fighting the gravity
It pulled me back to you
You could find yourself
or the true side of loyalty
It broke me as the sun
comes through my window
We are nearly a–lone

Verse 2:
In many years from now you’ll
find yourself with a family
And they won’t wait for you
You couldn’t find yourself
You couldn’t find any honestly
It broke me as the sun
comes through my

Chorus 1:
Break me off on another day
when I prayed for you
There wasn’t much to say
I threw you out on a holiday
When I looked for you
you didn’t wanna play
What we had today
I’ll Remember it
And I’m not taking chances
with our friendship
Separate rooms
Cure me of you somehow

Call me sometime
or let’s hang out
Or maybe I could
help you out
Stop acting like
you’ll ever see me
again and like I

figured out

Chorus 1:
I understand how

we are similar people
I understand how

Verse 2:
You are tearing down
walls I built until
they scrped the sky
So tell your wrecking
crew I welcome you
When the days slow
down this summer don’t
forget I did two years
in your silhouette

Chorus 2:
Your jaws of steel
never forgave
Its haunting the way
silence sounded
If I fked up long
ago I’m sorry I didn’t
realize it counted
