Any similarities between this and the 
 actual song is purely coincidental.

VERSE:
       A             G                   A*
Now it seems I can't keep my mind off of you
   A                    G                      E 
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
     A                G                A* 
Like sitting on blacktops up on school grounds
    A               G              E
The love I bitched about I finally found

    D'       A'
But now it's gone
A'    G'       Gb'
And I take the blame
            D'            E'
But there's nothing I can do 
             A'
But take the pain

Why?

A G* x2
      A             G             A*
Now I dwell on what you remind me of
  A                    G              E
A sweet young girl who sacraficed her love
       A       G               A*
As for me I am blind without a cause
      A         G                E
Cause now I realized what I have lost


       D'        A'
It was something real
A'     G'         Gb'
That I could have had
      D'                  E'    
Now I play the fool who's stable
            A'
Soul's gone bad

Why?

A G* x4

A(PMute)          G                  E            
Tell me world the words I might have said
A                     G              E
It's pumping pressure deep inside my head
A             G             E
Was it bad enough to be too late?
A                 G                  E  
Just tell me (the words I might have ate x3)


    D'       A'
But now it's gone
A'    G'       Gb'
And I take the blame
            D'            E'
But there's nothing I can do 
             A'
But take the pain

Why?

A G* x a bunch and fade
