[Intro] G Cadd9 G G Cadd9 D Cadd9 [Verse 1]
         G                  Cadd9
Filled myself with soot from top to bottom

      G   
I'm a smokestack

G   
Turning blood into booze

       Cadd9
Now my liver's on fumes

       D
Little alcoholic

Cadd9                     D
I'm always beating myself up

          G               Cadd9
Why did I have to play so rough?

           G   
I tried to get the hell out

        D                  G   
And I'm standing in my own way

G                        Cadd9
No, we can't skip school anymore

                  G   
Do you miss those days at all?

G   
I miss starting up fires

         Cadd9
Throwing bottles at trains

        D
Pissing on convenience store walls

            Cadd9             D
Well it was time for me to go home

             G                        Cadd9
Let's go and make some flyers for our third floor show

        G   
Mom and dad can wait

        D                G   
This is the path that we chose
[Chorus]
D                                      G   
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?

D                                           Em     C
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?

D                                       G   
'Cause I'm still believing, that means everything

D                                       Em     C
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?

D
'Cause I sure don't

    Cadd9
You made my life

               G     D  Cadd9
You changed my life

               G     D  Cadd9
You changed my life
[Verse 2]
            G                       Cadd9
Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing

        G   
At that open bar

G                           Cadd9
I saw a life go past that I guess I could've had

      D
But I didn't try very hard

           Cadd9              D
You see, I knew you two would last

            G               Cadd9
Why did you have to jump so fast?

            G   
Now put the baby to bed

            D                 G   
'Cause it's time for me to go home
[Chorus]
D                                      G   
Do you really believe that didn't mean anything?

D                                           Em     C
Now do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?

D                                       G   
'Cause I'm still believing, that means everything

D                                       Em     C
Do you really believe those days didn't mean a thing?

D
'Cause I sure don't

    Cadd9
You made my life

               G     D  Cadd9
You changed my life

               G     D  Cadd9
You changed my life

               G     D  Cadd9
You changed my life
