    A               Esus4/G#          D
And even though the moment passed me by
   F#m7        Esus4/B D
I still can't turn   away
      A                  Esus4/G#             D
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
    F#m7     Esus4/B  D
Got tossed along the way
     A               Esus4/G#        D
And letters that you never meant to send
    F#m7     Esus4/B D
Get lost or thrown away

Chorus:
    F#m7                Esus4/B
And now we're grown up orphans
     D
That never knew their names
   F#m7             Esus4/B
We don't belong to no one
           D
That's a shame
    F#m7              Esus4/B
But you could hide beside me
 D
Maybe for a while
    F#m7         Esus4/B      D
And I won't tell no one your name
                         A Esus4/G# D F#m7 Esus4/B D
And I won't tell em your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
And 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::
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
Then 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

    F#m7     Esus4/B      D
And I won't tell em your name
A     Esus4/G# D
Oooooh  mmmm  mmmm
    F#m7     Esus4/B      D
And I won't tell em your name

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
