well I wrote your name and burned it,
G D
to see the color of the flame,
Am C
and it burned out the whole spectrum,
G Em
as if you were everything,
Am C
mine just burned gold, a normal flame,
G Em G C G D
I am, not anything, and all that I remember is the feeling of waking up,
Am C G Em
when we were kids, you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust,
Am C G
when we were kids, i was a fountain, you could never drink enough,
G C G D
then came all the boys who swept you up, playing careless with your heart
Am C G Em
and every night there was a new girl, sitting beside me in my car,
Am C G C
something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can,
Am C G
I am glad, I am glad, you found a good man
