G
Running from the suburbs

Skipping heartbeats

Living by our own front teeth

And push the odds aside

But you lied

An old dream still haunts me
G Em
B time machine

G D B
Ripped jeans in a playground of cement

Gold rings, but you never could commit
[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
G B
I heard you're living somewhere upstate with a new life

But I don't wanna let go, and watch it all unfold

I couldn't if I even tried, and I tried
[Pre-chorus 2]

You left me stuck sixteen
G Em
Without a time machine
[Chorus]

Gold rings, but you never could commit
