Intro: Bb (for a while, be patient)
Eb F Gm Bb
Eb F Bb
Bb
All the time awake you're still on my mind
Gm F
But we were on our own almost all the time
Bb
And she'll step away for a second or two
Gm F
And I close my eyes And I think of you
Eb F Gm Bb
We were only seventeen we were holding in our screams
Eb F Gm Bb
Like we'd torn it from the pages of some lipstick magazine
Eb F
And you scratch and turn and say
Gm F Eb Bb
Let's burn ourselves up 'til we scream like gasoline
Bb again for a while
Bb
Those tender days at your mother's house
Gm F(D)
And your father would find my hand inside your blouse
Bb
But they tell me that you're married now
Gm F
Oh my dear I fear I can't understand how
Eb F Gm Bb
We were only seventeen we were holding back our screams
Eb F Gm Bb
Like we'd torn our lives from the pages of some girly magazines
Eb F
And you scratch and turn and say
Gm F Eb Bb
Let's burn these sheets down to the seams like gasoline
Solo thing:
Bb Dm Gm F x2
Eb F Gm Bb
I was only twenty one I wasn't having any fun
Eb F Gm Bb
And the words you said tore through my head like bullets from a gun
Eb F
And I should've just shown up and said
Gm F Eb
Get in this car let's run
Eb F Gm Bb
And these years have seen so many imitations turning green
Eb F Gm Bb
Each like the last they go right past like credits on a screen
Eb F
But your memory blazes through me
Gm F Eb Bb
Burning everything like gasoline
