well I wrote your name and burned it,
B F#
to see the color of the flame,
C#m E
and it burned out the whole spectrum,
B G#m
as if you were everything,
C#m E

B G#m B E B F#
I am, not anything, and all that I remember is the feeling of waking up,
C#m E B G#m
when we were kids, you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust,
C#m E B
when we were kids, i was a fountain, you could never drink enough,
B E B F#
then came all the boys who swept you up, playing careless with your heart
C#m E B G#m
and every night there was a new girl, sitting beside me in my car,
C#m E B E
something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can,
C#m E B
I am glad, I am glad, you found a good man
