[Verse 1]
C           F
  Aren't you tired?
G        F
  I know I am
C              F
  Do you still want me here
       G                           F
In the space between you and your hands?
C             F
  We shrank the summer down
G                F
  To twenty-four miles
C               F
  I can still hear the sound
       G                     F
Of you laughing all the way down
 
 
[Verse 2]
C              F
  We'd built a tower
G                  F
  Out of water and sand
C                      F
  Make it taller than both of us
       G                       F
And we tear it apart with our hands
C               F
  Look at us carefree
G                          F
  As we destroyed what we made
C              F
  I love you carefully
       G                        F
And I act like I'm dumb for my age
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                  F
  And I know we're older
G                        F
  And she still makes you cry
G                            F
  And just because she told you so
G                           F
  It doesn't mеan that she's right
G                    F
  And it still gets ugly
G                          F
  And you still bite your tonguе
G                           F
  But you still have more fight in you
          G                             F
Than you ever really did when you were young

[Verse 4]
C                  F
  Give it up for Plain Jane
G                             F
  There isn't really much to say
C                      F
  She's faster than a bullet train
              G                               F
And what you tell her, she will take to her grave
C                   F
  Can you see the laugh lines?
G                            F
  She holds her face in the mirror
C                     F
  She says it like nothing's wrong
             G                            F
  But I can hear her disappointment from here
 
 
[Verse 5]
G                     F
  You think you look older
G                    F
  I think you look alive
G                   F
  You were right before when you
           G                                F
Told me, "Living takes more than to just survive"
G                     F
  What's a word for lonely
G                     F
  That doesn't mean alone?
G                            F
  And what's that thing you told me?
            G                               F
  Something I would understand when I was grown
 
 
[Verse 6]
G                      F
  I don't know what I heard
G                        F
  Or what it takes to forgive
G                       F
  You were mad at the whole world
          G                             F
You were angry, I didn't stop when you did
G                   F
  I am building something else
G                            F
  It's not something I will tear down
G                  F
  I will make it myself
              G
And I'm too proud to break that promise
         F                        C
I'd do anything but ask for your help
