(Non Capo)

(Intro)
None

(Verse 1)
(C) You had people who called (Am) you on unmarked (F)numbers
(F) In my peripheral vision
(C) I let it slide like a (Am)hose on a slippery plastic (F)summer
All was (F)quickly forgiven
(C) You were so mag-(Am)netic it was almost ob(F)noxious
(F)Flush with the currency of (C)cool
(C) I was always turnin' (Am)out my empty (F)pockets
And (F)when it came to (G)you

(Chorus)
(C)I didn't (Am)come here to make friends
We were (F)born to be (G)suburban legends
When you (C)hold me, it (Am)holds me together
And you (F)kiss me in a way that's gonna (G)screw me up forever

(Verse 2)
(C) I had the fantasy that (Am)maybe our mismatched (F)star signs
Would (F)surprise the whole school
(C) When I ended up (Am)back at our class re-(F)union
(F)Walkin' in with you
(C) You'd be more than a (Am)chapter in my old (F)diaries
With the (F)pages ripped out
(C) I am standing in a (Am)1950s gym-(F)nasium
And (G)I can still see you now

(Chorus)
(C)I didn't (Am)come here to make friends
We were (F)born to be (G)suburban legends
When you (C)hold me, it (Am)holds me together
And you (F)kiss me in a way that's gonna (G)screw me up forever
(C)I know that (Am)you still remember
We were (F)born to be (G)national treasures
When you (C)told me we'd (Am)get back together
And you (F)kissed me in a way that's gonna (G)screw me up forever

(Outro.)
(C) Tick-tock on the (Am)clock, I pace down your (F)block
I broke my own (F)heart 'cause you were too polite to (C)do it
(C)Waves crash on the (Am)shore, I dash to the (F)door
You don't knock any-(F)more and my whole life's (C)ruined
(C)Tick-tock on the (Am)clock, I pace down your (F)block
I broke my own (F)heart 'cause you were too polite to (C)do it
(C)Waves crash on the (Am)shore, I dash to the (F)door
You don't knock any-(G)more and I always (C)knew it (Am) (F)
(G) That my life would be (C)ruined (Am) (F) (G) (C) - - - - -
