bittersweet taste of other boys on your lips.

Do you miss looking up from the floor

       C
at my face on a stage in a crowded room?

I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.

Am
Downtown looking down, down, looking over the crowd

C
I hope you're out there, look at me now.

G
Well it's not the same.

F
Just look at how we've changed.
[Chorus]
