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