       A             Bm
I was new in town, kinda goth
  A/C#             D
I met you in the science quad
      E            F#m
You asked if I had any pot
                    D
We're going up to Mikey's spot

   A        Bm
Covering important ground
   A/C#                 D
I tried cocaine in my cousin's house
            E         F#m
Yeah, I'm probably addicted now
                          D
The things that children lie about
           A             Bm
I didn't notice it was getting late
     A/C#          D
You offered me a place to stay
     E               F#m
We live up in the palisades
                    E/D  D
Tell your folks you ran away
          A/C#        Bm      F#m
Besides, you're  a Northsider now

A             Bm
We were so pretentious then
A/C#                 D
Didn't trust the government
 E                   F#m
Said that we were communists
                        D
And thought that we invented it
  A          Bm
Morrissey apologists
  A/C#       D
Amateur psychologists
  E        F#m
Serial monogamists
                        D
We went to different colleges
         A                   Bm
But you said that we would always be
  A/C#            D
Branches on the same old tree
  E                F#m                 E/D D
Reaching away from me each other for eternity
         D    A/C# Bm            F#m
And you know I can't argue with that

    A                  Bm
We could have had one last hurrah
    A/C#                    D
When I was working in the smoothie shop
      E                 F#m
But I couldn't get the weekend off
                            D
She told me I was getting soft
            A                 Bm
I read an article about the accident
  A/C#                        D
Probably reaching for cigarettes
                 E              F#m
And missed the brake lights up ahead
                           D
I hope it was an instant death
              A             Bm
Sometimes I imagine us way down the line
        A/C#                   D
Getting fat somewhere in the countryside
       E                          F#m       E/D D
It's crazy how things shake out sometimes
            D  A/C#  Bm             F#m
But maybe that's   enough magic for me
