C
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
C
-Stay- up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end
Am
-Now we're- spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us
With pretty eyed-boys girls die to trust
G
-I- can't resist the day--no, I can't resist the day...

C
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes

Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken

Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her

Summer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon...

C
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
C
-And- he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love, and we all got hurt
Am

The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
G
-Boy, we're- going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last...
Chorus:
F Am G
-It's all-right, and I put myself in his hands
F Am G F
But I hold on to his secrets in

Love, or something ignites in my veins
F Am G F
And I pray it never fades, in

He's my first mistake...

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
