Intro : [C]
Verse 1
[C]You had people who [Am] called you on unmarked [Fsus2] numbers
In my peripheral vision
[C]I let it slide like a [Am] hose on a slippery plastic [Fsus2] summer
All was quickly forgiven
[C]You were so [Am] magnetic it was almost [Fsus2] obnoxious
Flush with the currency of [C] cool
I was always turnin' [Am] out my empty [Fsus2] pockets
And [G] when it came to you
Chorus
[C] I didn't [Am] come here to make friends
We were [Fsus2] born to be [G] suburban legends
When you [C] hold me, it [Am] holds me together
And you [Fsus2] kiss me in a way that's gonna [G] screw me up forever
Verse 2
[C] I had the fantasy that [Am] maybe our mismatched [Fsus2] star signs
Would surprise the whole school
[C] When I ended up [Am] back at our class [Fsus2] reunion
Walkin' in with you
[C] You'd be more than a [Am] chapter in my old [Fsus2] diaries
With the pages ripped out
[C] I am standing in a [Am] 1950s [Fsus2] gymnasium
And [G] I can still see you now
Chorus
[C] I didn't [Am] come here to make friends
We were [Fsus2] born to be [G] suburban legends
When you [C] hold me, it [Am] holds me together
And you [Fsus2] kiss me in a way that's gonna [G] screw me up forever
[C] I know that [Am] you still remember
We were [Fsus2] born to be [G] national treasures
When you [C] told me we'd [Am] get back together
And you [Fsus2] kissed me in a way that's gonna [G] screw me up forever
Outro
[C] Tick-tock on the [Am] clock, I pace down your [Fsus2] block
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to [C] do it
Waves crash on the [Am] shore, I dash to the [Fsus2] door
You don't knock anymore and my whole life's [C] ruined
[C] Tick-tock on the [Am] clock, I pace down your [Fsus2] block
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to [C] do it
Waves crash on the [Am] shore, I dash to the [Fsus2] door
You don't knock [G] anymore and I [C] always knew it [Am] [Fsus2]
[G] That my life would be ruined [C] [Am] [Fsus2] [G] [C]
