Intro
G  C  D  Em C

Verse 1
Bm
  Break my soul in two looking for you
              C
  But you're right here
D
  If I can't relate to you anymore
                   Em        C
  Then who am I related to?
Bm
  And if this is the long haul
               C
  How'd we get here so soon?
D
  Did I close my fist around something delicate?
      Em             C
  Did I shatter you?


Pre-Chorus
          Em                           C
  And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island
                          G
  Wondering where did my baby go?
                                          Bm
  The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
  C                        D
  Sorry for not making you my centerfold


Chorus
           Em
  Over and over
  C
  Lost again with no surprises
  G/B
  Disappointments close your eyes
      Bm                 C
  And it gets colder and colder
                D
  When the sun goes down

Em   C


Verse 2
Bm
  The question pounds my head
                        C
  What's a lifetime of achievement
D
  If I pushed you to the edge?
                             Em       C
  But you were too polite to leave me
Bm
  Do you miss the rogue
                                   C
  Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
D
  Will you forgive my soul
                                        Em              C
  When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?


Pre-Chorus
         Em                                C
  'Cause we were like the mall before the internet
                 G
  It was the one place to be
                                    Bm
  The mischief, the gift-wrapped suburban dreams
  C                           D
  Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring


Chorus
           Em
  Over and over
  C
  Lost again with no surprises
  G/B
  Disappointments close your eyes
      Bm                  C
  And it gets colder and colder
                D
  When the sun goes down


Bridge
Em                         C
  Were you waiting at our old spot

  In the tree line
         G
  By the gold clock

  Did I leave you hanging every single day?
Bm                         C
  Were you standing in the hallway
                         D
  With a big cake, happy birthday

  Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest grey?
          Em
  The universe waits
              C
  And when I got into the accident
      G
  The sight that flashed before me was your face
Bm                                     D
  But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name


Pre-Chorus
Em                         C
  I'm on a bench in Coney Island
                          G
  Wondering where did my baby go
                                       Bm
  The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
  C                        D
  Sorry for not making you my centerfold


Chorus
           Em
  Over and over
  C
  Lost again with no surprises
  G/B
  Disappointments close your eyes
      Bm                  C
  And it gets colder and colder
                D
  When the sun goes down


Outro
                Em       C
  When the sun goes down
      G
  The sight that flashed before me was your face
                Bm      C
  When the sun goes down
        D
  But I think that I forgot to say your name
           Em   C
  Over and over
  G                         
  Sorry for not making you my, making you my
Bm             C       D
  Making you my centerfold
