   F#m
It was no compliment
C#m
                 D

 A                 F#m
Caulfield? Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
A                                 
All that stuff that bummed me out 
D
ten years ago
      A                  C#m  
Still bugs me today, and boy, I 
        Bm
wanna know
    A                            D
Who died and made you my mom and me 
some stupid kid?
A                  C#m       Bm 
How can you forget all those 
       A
things we did? {chorus starts 
overlapping 'did')

[Chrous]

So keep on sleeping on
 F#m              D
'Til your hair is grey
E
When I turn eighty
  C#m              A
I better feel this way

[Verse 2]
A                           
I'm afraid of people who like 
  D
Catcher in the Rye
A                        C#m     
Yeah, I like it too, but someone 
        Bm
tell me why
A                        D
People he'd despise say: I feel like
 that guy
A                            C#m 
I don't wanna grow up, cause I 
    Bm      A
don't wanna die

[Bridge 1]
                    D
When I'm thirty-one

[Verse 3]
A                    D
I respect the man in Sunset 
Boulevard
A                           C#m  
Got a heart somewhere, just won't
              Bm
 let down his guard
A                              D
Doesn't trust happiness or the bad 
luck that it brings
     A                        C#m 
He's lonely and he's cold and he's
       Bm       A
 proud of these things

[Bridge 1]
                D
I said I'm cold
               F#m
And I'm lonely
                D
I said I'm cold
