C Am F You had people who called you on unmarked numbers In my peripheral vision C Am F I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer All was quickly forgiven C Am F You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious C Flush with the currency of cool Am F I was always turninʼ out my empty pockets G And when it came to you Chorus: C Am I didnʼt come here to make friends F G We were born to be suburban legends C Am When you hold me, it holds me together F G And you kiss me in a way thatʼs gonna screw me up forever C Am F I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs Would surprise the whole school C Am F When I ended up back at our class reunion Walkinʼ in with you C Am F Youʼd be more than a chapter in my old diaries With the pages ripped out C Am F I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium G And I can still see you now Chorus: C Am I didnʼt come here to make friends F G We were born to be suburban legends C Am When you hold me, it holds me together F G And you kiss me in a way thatʼs gonna screw me up forever C Am I know that you still remember F G We were born to be national treasures C Am When you told me weʼd get back together F G And you kissed me in a way thatʼs gonna screw me up forever Outro: C Am F Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block C I broke my own heart ʼcause you were too polite to do it Am F Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door C You donʼt knock anymore and my whole lifeʼs ruined Am F Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block C I broke my own heart ʼcause you were too polite to do it Am F Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door G C Am F You donʼt knock anymore and I always knew it G C Am F G C That my life would be ruined
