There was nothing you could do but turn away
C F
They told the fathers to hide all the girls away
Am F C F
It's just a name, a name, a name, a name, what's in a name?
C F
And you were sleeping by the time I found you there
Am G
I said “It's a shame we got to cut off all that hair…”
C F C F
But it's all right, I just hope it's nothing bad
Am F C F
You can call me if you're sad, I don't care what you father said
C F C F
Am F Am G
C F
We were running through the halls of the middle school
C F
Writing our names on the sides of the public pool
Am F C F
Like two ghosts in flight on a sleepless night, we were alive
C F
And you told me you were scared of suicide
Am G
On the night that your best friend's brother died
C F C F
But it's all right, I just hope it's nothing bad
Am F C F
You can call me if you're sad, I don't care what you father said
C F C F
Am F Am G
(Not sure about the bridge, doesn't sound great with just chords anyway)
C F
And I was lost in you dancing around in your living room
C F
You said your mother's in the back on Valium
Am F C F
And she sleeps so hard that you wonder if she is alive
C F
And so I parked my bike outside your house
C F
You said, “There's nothing you could do to make me come out”
Am F C F
Because your daddy said I was the worst one yet, it was a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie
C F
‘Cause I always loved the way you looked in the firing line
Am G
Just dancing around in some old sweater of mine
C F C F
But it's all right, I just hope it's nothing bad
Am F C F
You can call me if you're sad, I don't care what you father said
C F C F
This is not a game. It would be a crying shame
Am F C F
I mean, honestly, what's in a name? Tell me, what's in a name, a name, a name...

Am F Am G
Oh we were so young, we were so wrong
