Suburban Legends

[Primeira Parte]

C                   Am
 You had people who called you on
          F
Unmarked numbers

In my peripheral vision
C                      Am
 I let it slide like a hose on a slippery
         F
Plastic summer

All was quickly forgiven
C               Am                    F
 You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious
                           C
Flush with the currency of cool
                     Am           F
I was always turnin' out my empty pockets
    G
And when it came to you

[Refrão]

C        Am
I didn't come here to make friends
        F          G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C           Am
When you hold me, it holds me together
        F                             G
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me

Up forever

[Segunda Parte]

C                       Am
 I had the fantasy that maybe our
             F
Mismatched star signs

Would surprise the whole school
C                Am                  F
 When I ended up back at our class reunion

Walkin' in with you
C                     Am                F
 You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries

With the pages ripped out
C                   Am       F
 I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium
    G
And I can still see you now

[Refrão]

C        Am
I didn't come here to make friends
        F          G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C           Am
When you hold me, it holds me together
        F                             G
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw

Me up forever
C           Am
I know that you still remember
        F          G
We were born to be national treasures
         C            Am
When you told me we'd get back together
        F                               G
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw

Me up forever

[Final]

C                 Am                      F
 Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

I broke my own heart 'cause you were too
          C
Polite to do it
                   Am                   F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door

You don't knock anymore and my whole life's
C
Ruined
                 Am                      F
Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block

I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite
    C
To do it
                   Am                   F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door
                   G                 C     Am  F
You don't knock anymore and I always knew it
G                      C Am F  G  C
 That my life would be ruined
