[Verse 1]
Bm             D
Astride the divide
Bm                     Em
Between childhood and lies
C                A7sus4
Mischaracterised
   G        D          G F#m Em D
Romantic in retrospect


[Verse 2]
Bm               D
Twenty surrogate sons
Bm                    Em7
A hundred ten in the summertime
C                A7sus4
All I knew about life
       G          D     G F#m Em D
Was a handful of water


[Chorus]
G              D            G          D
Forgetting the line between action and consequence
D          A                      G
Parsing my place between fate and happenstance
        D               G      D
After a love in which I was so shameless
             A                     G
Nineteen and aimless, nineteen and aimless


[Verse 3]
Bm             D
Trip down the stairs
Bm                    Em7
It's not sneaking when no one cares
C                A7sus4
Counting on Claire
     G         D      G F#m Em D
And basking in misery
  

[Chorus]
G              D           G           D
Forgetting the line between action and consequence
D          A                      G
Parsing my place between fate and happenstance
        D               G      D
After a love in which I was so shameless
             A                     G
Nineteen and aimless, nineteen and aimless


[Bridge]
C           Dsus2 D
  Come with me
C        Dsus2 D
Bathe in memory
Em Em7              Bm7
I didn't know who to be
  A#maj7            A7sus4
But I knew I wasn't blameless


[Chorus]
 G             D           G           D
Forgetting the line between action and consequence
           A                      G
Parsing my place between fate and happenstance
        D               G      D
After a love in which I was so shameless
             A                     G
Nineteen and aimless, nineteen and aimless


[Outro]
G      D             G       D
Before wine became a close acquaintance
D          A                         G
Before my college bands tried to get famous
            D               G      D
But after a love in which I was so shameless
             A                     G
Nineteen and aimless, nineteen and aimless
