Tom: G
G C
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
Mine just burned gold,
C
A normal flame.
G Em
I am not anything.
G C
And all that I remember
G D
Is the feeling of waking up.
Am
When we were kids,
C G Em
you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust.
Am
When we were kids,
C G
I was a fountain and you could never drink enough.
G C
Then came all the boys who swept you up,
G D
Playing careless with your heart
Am C
And every night there was a new girl
G Em
Sitting beside me in my car.
Am C
Something dies when you grow older,
G Em
But you do the best you can.
Am
I am glad.
C
I am glad.
G
You found a good man.
