From a girl so long agaon
F                G#
A girl I used to know in Reno

Yea things they kinda happened
Bb
But I flunked her test or something
F#
Punk rock cured my misery
F                  G#
She said it ruined her and me

Back in the day
             G#              Bb
We played in nineteen eighty one

What's done is done

I thought in nineteen eighty one 


Bb
I should explain the chorus
Bb
There was no future for us
    F#
She made life feel ok
F            G# 
We hung out every day
Bb
Then things got kinda creepy

She started getting weepy
F#
Our things grew really odd
F          G#
As soon as she found God

She moved to Sacramento
Bb
Gave back all my mementos
F#
Stood there and watched her go

We tried to keep things friendly

So hard when things have ended
F#
Punk rock blamed for our decline
