G Bm Em A
[Verse 1]
G
It was the summer before our senior year
Bm
I was packing up my life in an Econoline
Em
While she was trying dresses on and playing house
A
Standing in the drive to watch me backing out
G
I got home before September starts to catch a chill
Bm
We sat and talked about how much we both have changed
Em
I've been a bad boy, too late to go back then
A
Maybe someday we can end up as friends
G
And theres so many things I can't believe,
Bm
well I can't believe
Em A
we were seventeen, we were seventeen
G
And now I'm lost at the drive I'm lost in the car
Bm
Guess when you lose someone you find out who you are
Em A
Now I'm rolled up, broken in and moving along, I'm moving along
[Chorus]
G Bm
But all I got left, is coffee and cigarettes
Em A
Mixtapes on old cassettes, and a picture that you put in a letter
G
You were the best
Bm Em
The best that I ever had, baby you got me bad
A
You always said that you would wait forever
G Bm
And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Em A
You're gone
[Verse 2]
G
I heard she met someone in college, looks a bit like me
Bm Em
Moved back to Boston for her law degree, while I was stamping postcards, a summer song
A
I think about her when the television's on
G
I went back for the reunion and we reminicsed
Bm
She had on sensible shoes and said
Em
"It's good to see you're still the guy I used to know"
A
And then a breath, and a sideways hug that I could not forget
G
And theres so many things I can't believe,
Bm
well I can't believe
Em A
we were seventeen, we were seventeen
G
And now I'm lost at the motel, I'm lost in the bar
Bm
And looking back at, And looking back at her is still the hardest part
Em A
Gotta let go, let go, start moving along, moving along
[Chorus]
G Bm
But all I got left, is coffee and cigarettes
Em A
Mixtapes on old cassettes, and a picture that you put in a letter
G
You were the best
Bm Em
The best that I ever had, baby you got me bad
A
You always said that you would wait forever
G Bm
And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Em A
You're gone
G Bm
And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Em A
You're gone
G Bm
And all I got left, is coffee and cigarettes
Em A
