[Intro]
[B] [E]

[B]I'm breaking down
[E]I had [B]it all
[E]I taught myself [B]how to walk
[E]Now I [B]can barley crawl
[E]I kiss [B]her lips
[E]We fade [B]to black
[E]Mistakes I've made
[B]Are the reasons [E]were never going back
[B]What we once [E]had was funny
[B]We fucked [E]it up
[B]All these ideas [E]are running out
[B]We're growing up
[E]The endless nights
[B]The boring days
[E]The times I [B]let you beleive
[E]That I was [B]here to stay
[E]Do all [B]the drugs
[E]Take all [B]the pills
[E]The times we're [B]alone are upon us
[E]And thats [B]what really kills
[E]What we once [B]had was funny
[E]We fucked [B]it up
[E]All these ideas [B]are running out
[E]We're growing up
[B]Forget the days
[E]We used [B]to dance
[E]I know [B]its wrong
[E]But I'm thinking that [B]T should take the chance
[E]Lets go [B]to bed
[E]Take off [B]your clothes
[E]We found the cure [B]but the problem is
[E]Nobody else knows
[B]What we once [E]had was funny
[B]We fucked [E]it up
[B]All these ideas [E]are running out
[B]We're growing up
