E                       A    
when I was young I knew everything    
    C#m                         B    A    
and she a punk who rarely ever took advice    
        E                              A    
now I'm guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor    
C#m                   B     A    
stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice - no -

C#m  B     A    
          I can't be held responsible    
C#m  B           A    
         'cause she was touching her face    
C#m  B     A    
          I won't be held responsible    
C#m  B                A    
          she fell in love in the first place

E                   A    
for the life of me, I cannot remember    
C#m                     B       A                         E    
what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compro-mise    
                   A    
for the life of me,  I cannot believe    
     C#m        B        A    
we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her    
    C#m                   B      A    
his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept    
             E                               A    
and now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor    
C#m                       B         A    
thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says...

we've tried to wash our hands of all of this    
C#m                     B     A    
we never talk of our lacking relationships    
              E                              A    
and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor    
C#m                         B      A
