           E
Must have been sleeping
            B  
Must have been drinking
         C#m
Haven't been dreaming about you
A
for years
         E
There was a sharp turn
    B  
and a sun burn
    C#m
I was too cool for
A                 E  B  
high school that year
      C#m  B  
That year

It must have been New Year's
No one invited you, you took things too far
But I missed you and your antics
You were lonesome and blue-eyed
And so special to us

F#m                      A
You should have taken a long break
           E              B
insted of a long drop from a high place
F#m                 A                            E
Ten years I never spoke of your name, now it feels
               B                   A
good to say it, you're my friend again

He said he forgave you, I said I hated you
He was the bigger man, I was sixteen
All the innocence it took for you
To finally make your yearbook
That year
That year

You could have taken some time away
Instead of a long drop
Instead of a leap of faith
Ten years, I never spoke your name
Now it feels good to say that
You're my friend again
You're my friend again

I was angry
I was a Baptist
I was a daughter
I was wrong
