We were seventeen, first time away from home
Em A
You lived down the hall

Went to high school in Oshawa

Days would go by, you'd never leave your room

I'd ask what was wrong
Em A
You just laughed and said, "c'mon"
[Chorus]
G Bm
But It's easy for me to say:
Em D
I'm not alone with those conversations
G Bm
That you have with yourself all day
Em A
Man I get it when you need escaping
G D Em
When it gets too much
G D Em
I love you like my own blood
N.C.
So don't be a stranger
[Instrumental]

All the talent, but its a balance
C G A
I can't tell you anything you don't already know

I can't predict the next time it'll hit

To pack it in and dissolve
