This switches back and forth from 2/2 to 4/4 so you kina have to feel
the rhythm...

Intro:   

8 bar rest

(figure 1)
G -----|-----|----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
D -----|-----|----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----
A -----|-----|-5--|-----|-5---|-(5)-|-5---|-(5)-
E -5---|-4---|----|-2-0-|-----|-----|-----|-----

Verse:
(figure 1 - 
And even though the moment passed me by 
I still can't turn away 
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose 
Got tossed along the way 
And letters that you never meant to send 
Get lost or thrown away

Chorus:
G ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A ---5\-------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--
E ------2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-----------------2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0------------------

And now we're grown up orphans 
That never knew their names 
We don't belong to no one 
That's a shame

G ----------------------------------------------------------------
D -----------------------------------------------------------0----
A ---------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------
E ---2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-----------------5--2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-------

But if you could hide beside me 
Maybe for a while 
And I won't tell no one your name 
And I won't tell em' your name

(verse)
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far 
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star 
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are

(chorus)
We grew up way too fast 
And now there's nothing to believe
Reruns all become our history 
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name 
And I won't tell em' your name 

(verse)
I won't tell em' your name 
Mmm, mmm, mmm,
I won't tell em' your name… Ow!

(solo - play chorus)

(Bass tacit)
I think about you all the time 
But I don't need the same 
It's lonely where you are come back down, 
And I won't tell em your name
