[Verse 1]
C             F  
..Aren’t you tired?
G           F  
..I know I am
C                F 
..Do you still want me here?
         G                         F 
In the space between you and your hands
C                F     
..We shrank the summer down
G        F
..To 24 miles
C               F         
..I can still hear the sound
         G                   F  
Of you laughing all the way down

[Verse 2]
C             F 
..We built a tower
G                    F  
..Out of water and sand
C                      F   
..Make it taller than both of us
        G                      F  
And we tear it apart with our hands
C             F   
..Look at us carefree
G                          F
..As we destroyed what we made
C             F
..I love you carefully
       G                        F  
And I act like I’m dumb for my age

[Refrain]
G                   F 
..And I know we're older
G                        F 
And she still makes you cry
G                       F    
..And just because she told you so
G                             F  
..It doesn’t mean that sh?’s right
G                    F  
..And it still gets ugly
G                          F  
..And you still bite your tongue
G                          F  
..But you still hav? more fight in you
      G                                  F  
Then you ever really did when you were young

[Verse 4]
C                  F 
..Give it up for plain Jane
G                             F 
..There isn’t really much to say
C                      F 
..She’s faster than a bullet train
              G                              F  
And what you tell her she will take to her grave
C                   F    
..Can you see the laugh lines?
G                            F  
..She holds her face in the mirror
C                   F        
..She says it like nothing’s wrong
           G                            F  
But I can hear her disappointment from here

[Refrain]
G                     F
..You think you look older
G                   F 
..I think you look alive
G                   F   
..You were right before when you
           G                                 F  
Told me, “Living takes more than to just survive”
G                     F  
..What’s a word for lonely
G                     F  
..That doesn’t mean alone
G                             F  
..And what’s that thing you told me?
          G                               F 
Something I would understand when I was grown

[Refrain]
G                       F 
..I don’t know what I heard
G                         F  
..Or what it takes to forgive
G                            F  
..You were mad at the whole world
          G                            F  
You were angry I didn’t stop when you did
G                F            
..I Am building something else
G                             F  
..It's not something I will tear down
G                   F
..I will make it myself
              G                   
And I’m too proud to break that promise
         F                        C 
I’d Do anything but ask for your help
