D    G  A
D    G  A

Verse 1
D
There's a low-hanging sun
 G            A
I think we're running a red
 D                                      G
I hate the thought I could've died with you
             A
Thinking I'd put this to bed
   D
My mum says it's bad for my health
  G           A
I haven't forgiven you yet
    D
But God, I'm bitter in the blood
    G                 A
So I will be when I'm dead

Chorus
        D                 G
You took time that wasn't yours to
              A
Engineered an enemy
                  G
From someone who adored you
       D               G
You had time enough to halt this
                    A
Despite the years between us
                        G
You were mine enough to call it
                Bm
Call it what it was
            A        G
It was teenage love
                Bm
Call it what it was
            A        G
It was teenage love

If only for one of us

D    G  A


Verse 2
D
Lisa asked down the phone
       G          A
If your heart was really as bad
       D
As the doctor was telling you then
   G           A
Or if you even lied about that
 D
I hated to say you were honest
G            A
And let some light through the cracks
 D
I'll never know what was real
    G            A
And you'll never need to look back


Pre-Chorus
      Em
It's fitting I guess, I didn't know it existed
    G
The thing in your chest I always thought you were missing
   G     A
Is gonna take us both down

Chorus
        D                 G
You took time that wasn't yours to
              A
Engineered an enemy
                  G
From someone who adored you
       D               G
You had time enough to halt this
                    A
Despite the years between us
                        G
You were mine enough to call it
                Bm
Call it what it was
            A        G
It was teenage love
                Bm
Call it what it was
            A        G
It was teenage love...


Outro
          D
I used to kiss your head and call you soft
        A
Now you kiss my friends in the Gellions loft
           G
You said I dish out shame like it gets me off
                A
And they'll forget my name when the lights go on
          D
I used to wanna live slow by the riverbed
      A
Now I drink to get calm and to un-forget
           G
I tried to miss you, man, but it messes my head
          A
Trying to marry your face with the things you said
            D
I hate that I'll get old before you know your crime
         A
And then all I've got is to make them rhyme
            G
I hate your stupid bar and your hairline
              A
Hate that you had me before I was even mine
           D
I hate you close to home and far away
        A
In that empty new place where you tax evade
           G
I hate the taxi rank and the drugs you take
            A
I hate that everyone knows and they'll never say

D    G    A    G
