G D
when i was very young my neighbor would give me klondike bars
G D
i would climb in the tree that someone had planted in my back yard
G D
everything had felt infinite and i know it sounds cliche
G D
but i have to admit it sometimes i wish i could still feel that way
Chorus:
C D
but no one was home yeah everyone was gone
G Em
and i never went back because i knew all along
C D
that you were never coming home i knew it from the start
G Em
i was only five years old but i was pretty smart
C D G Em
and you were gone for good
C D G
yeah i was pretty smart and i knew you were gone for good
G D
when i was a little bit older i heard that my neighbor had passed away
G D
a few years later i had a klondike and it didn't taste the same
G D
i moved away from the house i lived in when i was five years old
G D
i was never coming back but i could see that you were growing old
Chorus:
C D
but no one was home yeah everyone was gone
G Em
and i never went back because i knew all along
C D
that you were never coming home i knew it from the start
G Em
i was only five years old but i was pretty smart
C D G Em
and you were gone for good
C D G
yeah i was pretty smart and i knew you were gone for good
