Suburban Legends

[First Part]

C                   Am
 You had people who called you on
          F
Unmarked numbers

In my peripheral vision
C                      Am
 I let it slide like a hose on a 
slippery
         F
Plastic summer

All was quickly forgiven
C               Am               
 You were so magnetic it was 
     F
almost obnoxious
                           C
Flush with the currency of cool
                     Am           
I was always turnin' out my empty 
F
pockets
    G
And when it came to you

[Chorus]

C        Am
I didn't come here to make friends
        F          G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C           Am
When you hold me, it holds me 
together
        F                      
And you kiss me in a way that's 
       G
gonna screw me

Up forever

[Second Part]

C                       Am
 I had the fantasy that maybe our
             F
Mismatched star signs

Would surprise the whole school
C                Am              
 When I ended up back at our 
    F
class reunion

Walkin' in with you
C                     Am         
 You'd be more than a chapter in 
       F
my old diaries

With the pages ripped out
C                   Am       F
 I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium
    G
And I can still see you now

[Chorus]

C        Am
I didn't come here to make friends
        F          G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C           Am
When you hold me, it holds me 
together
        F                      
And you kiss me in a way that's 
       G
gonna screw

Me up forever
C           Am
I know that you still remember
        F          G
We were born to be national 
treasures
         C            Am
When you told me we'd get back 
together
        F                        
And you kissed me in a way that's 
       G
gonna screw

Me up forever

[Outro]

C                 Am             
 Tick-tock on the clock, I pace 
         F
down your block

I broke my own heart 'cause you were
 too
          C
Polite to do it
                   Am              
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to
     F
 the door

You don't knock anymore and my whole
 life's
C
Ruined
                 Am                
Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down
      F
 your block

I broke my own heart 'cause you were
 too polite
    C
To do it
                   Am              
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to
     F
 the door
                   G               
You don't knock anymore and I 
  C     Am  F
always knew it
G                      C Am F  G  C
 That my life would be ruined
