[Verse]
Am C
After school, walkin home

Fresh dirt under my fingernails and

Cannot forget, refuse to regret
G
So glad I met you and

[Bridge]
Am
Rhythm of the conversation
E7
The perfection of her creation
Am
The sex she slipped into my coffee
E7
The way she felt when she first saw me
Am
Hate to love and love to hate her
E7
Like a broken record player
Am
Back and forth and here and gone
E7
and on and on and on and on!

F C Am
Cannot forget, refuse to regret
G
So glad I met you and

And we're only several mi-les from the sun.'
