(strum)
E                                 Way back then there were monsters in my closet
Bb                                        F#mAnd now there's just skeletons hiding in there
The clock is ticking away
                     A             BbThe leaves are still falling every day
    E                            BbThe sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then
         F#m                    A         BbLike the heat from the blacktop again and again


(strum once)
A          C#m    Bb  G#m            AI remember when smoke didn't fill my lungs
        C#m        Bb         When my hands were lost and so young


A                  C#m         Bb           G#mIt seemed like the houses were touching the sky
      A            C#m         BbAnd I thought this smile on my face would never lie


(palm mute)
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun
The summer we were staring at the
Oh, the summer we were staring at the sun


E                                 Way back then there were monsters in my closet
Bb                                       F#mAnd now there's just skeletons hiding in there
The clock is ticking away
                     A             BbThe leaves are still falling every day
    E                            BbThe sunburn on my shoulders kept warm back then
        F#m                     A         BbLike the heat from the blacktop again and again

End on E
