Em            Em7                   D                   C                     Em
Remember when we used to sing, baby up in your room, before your mother got home?
             Em7         D    C
There was a sound to our innocence
Em              Em7    D            C
Our voices were lovers in the same bed
             Em                  Em7               D  C
Now I'm not sure how they would sound, isn't that sad?

Now that the ocean's all waves and the diamonds are blood
There's a new girl on your song
I didn't know that I could be replaced
Years ago, I tried to get a message to you
But I never heard back, I never heard back

       C          Em   Em7
Where did we go wrong?
     D        C              Em Em7
Our haven was always in the song
     D           C      Em       Em7   D
But just when I go to close the gates permanently
      C           D
I realise that it isn't me

Chorus:
       G
No, I don't keep a list, can't hold a grudge
D                                                   C
Don't you think that we both might have done some growing up?
          G
Well, I know that some shit was said and done
B7                                                C
But it's such a different world now, I can't hate anyone

                          G
Remember when we woke at dawn
                D                  C
Saw the silver sun in your old Citroën
                               G
And remember when we took them on?
                D                     C
Stoners on the run, how the west was won

Remember when we used to swim, baby, no one around
Take off all our clothes?
And in the clear cold, we were born again
I used to count down to your birthday
Now I'm not sure if it's June or July, isn't that sad?

Where did we go wrong?
Our haven was always in the song
But just when I go to close the gates permanently
I realise that it isn't me

Chorus:
No, I don't keep a list, can't hold a grudge (Hold no grudge)
Don't you think that we both might've done some growing up?
Yeah, I know that some shit was said and done (Said and done)
But it's such a different world now, I can't hate anyone

Remember when we woke at dawn
Saw the silver sun in your old Citroën?
And remember when we took them on?
Stoners on the run, How the West Was Won

Acting my age, not my horoscope
Guess that's growing up
Now I'm sending you love and wishing you well
Wherever you are
