G      C          Em
My old friend she used to be a dick
          G           C            Em
She’s got millions of holes in her map by now, and what’d she get?
G   C            Em
 So smart such a part time fool
        G      C             Em
Putting up her paint just to rile up the crew

[Pre-Chorus]
      F#m   G
And I stood still beside her
F#m         G
Warming her plans while she laid out the others
       F#m G
Now I’m so glad I wasn’t her
      F#m          G
I was catching the glow and then going back to mother

[Verse 2]
G          C            Em
I’ve got a moment- I’ll write it and spill it
          G          C           Em
Cause the illness is creeping in, who can I pin it on?
     G        C         Em
Well, she stole all the light front the room
          G         C              Em
I was the better friend, I was one of the few

[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m G
And they all caught up to you
F#m         G
Tore up the pavement, like I knew they would
            F#m  G

And this is entirely half true
          F#m           G
I’m gonna bleed out the colors, so I don’t hurt you

[Chorus]
    G             C      Em           C
You can’t blame a kid any more than a dog
    G             C            Bb      A7
Any move that she made was the natural call
         G            C           Em       C
Though I wish I could claim I was above it all
      G               C            Bb      A7
I was there the whole time, I just watched
   G         C         Em           C
If I was let in, maybe I’d take the fall
        G              C          Bb               A7
And the world would be strange to behold from this hole
          G           C            Em           C
But I was scared and ashamed and I ran from the frame
     G          C         Bb       A7
As I still do today, as I still do today
