Verse 1:
[Eb]There's a low-hanging sun
I[Ab]I think we're [Bb]running a red
I[Eb]I hate the thought I could've died with [Ab]you
Thinking I'd [Bb]put this to bed
My [Eb]mum says it's bad for my health
I [Ab]haven't forg[Bb]forgiven you yet
But [Eb]God, I'm bitter in the blood
So I[Ab]I will be when I'm [Bb]dead
Chorus:
You took[Eb]took time that wasn't [Ab]yours to
Engineered an [Bb]enemy
From someone who a[Ab]adored you
You had[Eb]had time enough to [Ab]halt this
Despite the years be[Bb]between us
You were mine enough to [Ab]call it
Call it what it [Cm]was
It was teena[Bb]teenage love [Ab]
Call it what it [Cm]was
It was teena[Bb]teenage love [Ab]
If only for one of us

Verse 2:
[Eb]Lisa asked down the phone
If your[Ab]your heart was [Bb]really as bad
As the [Eb]doctor was telling you then
Or [Ab]if you even [Bb]lied about that
I[Eb]I hated to say you were honest
[Ab]And let some [Bb]light through the cracks
I[Eb]I'll never know what was real
And [Ab]you'll never [Bb]need to look back
Pre-Chorus:
It's f[Fm]fitting I guess, I didn't know it existed
The [Ab]thing in your chest
I always thought you were missing
Is [Ab]gonna [Bb]take us both down
Chorus:
You took[Eb]took time that wasn't [Ab]yours to
Engineered an [Bb]enemy
From someone who a[Ab]adored you
You had[Eb]had time enough to [Ab]halt this
Despite the years be[Bb]between us
You were mine enough to [Ab]call it
Call it what it [Cm]was
It was teena[Bb]teenage love [Ab]
Call it what it [Cm]was
It was teena[Bb]teenage love..[Ab]love...
Outro:
I used to [Eb]kiss your head and call you soft
Now you [Bb]kiss my friends in the Gellions loft
You said I [Ab]dish out shame like it gets me off
And they'll forg[Bb]forget my name when the lights go on
I used to [Eb]wanna live slow by the riverbed
Now I [Bb]drink to get calm and to un-forget
I tried to [Ab]miss you, man, but it messes my head
Trying to [Bb]marry your face with the things you said
I hate that [Eb]I'll get old before you know your crime
And then [Bb]all I've got is to make them rhyme
I hate your [Ab]stupid bar and your hairline
Hate that you [Bb]had me before I was even mine
I hate you [Eb]close to home and far away
In that [Bb]empty new place where you tax evade
I hate the [Ab]taxi rank and the drugs you take
I hate that [Bb]everyone knows and they'll never say
