Intro: Bm |F#m| G | D | G | D | A | A |
 Bm                  F#m
Don't write me no more letters

 G                   D
My mailbox is full of bombs

       G                 D           A
Between you and the kooks on my block

      Bm                    F#m
I don't remember the good times

        G                    D
I wasn't there and you were kind

       G              D            A
And my wife has some dogs in our yard

     G                D          A        Bm 
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl

       G                   D
We were strangers many hours

        A
And I missed you for so long

             Bm                  A       
When we were lions, lovers in combat

                G                          D A G
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned

           D    A   
But I am older now

          Bm                G
And we did it when we were young

         D   A 
I am older now

          Bm                G
And we did it when we were young  

             Bm        F#m
There are no reasons to believe

           G                    D
I buried my faith in an unmarked plot

          G              D
With your heart and your clothes

       A                 Bm          F#m
When I find that I don't feel you or recall

              G                D
I'll put your bones out in the yard

     G             D                 A
Someone else to be called and called by

      G             D           A          Bm
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl

        G               D
We were strangers many hours

        A
And I missed you for so long

             Bm               A
When we were lions, lovers in combat

                G                          D A G
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned

           D    A
But I am older now

          Bm                G
And we did it when we were young

       D    A
I am older now

         Bm                 G
And we did it when we were young

       D   A
I am older now

          Bm                G
And we did it when we were young

       D   A
I am older now

         Bm    A             D 
And we did it when we were young
