Tom: G
G C Em
My old friend she used to be a dick
G C Em
She’s got millions of holes in her map by now, and what’d she get?
G C Em
So smart such a part time fool
G C Em
Putting up her paint just to rile up the crew
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G
And I stood still beside her
F#m G
Warming her plans while she laid out the others
F#m G
Now I’m so glad I wasn’t her
F#m G
I was catching the glow and then going back to mother
[Verse 2]
G C Em
I’ve got a moment- I’ll write it and spill it
G C Em
Cause the illness is creeping in, who can I pin it on?
G C Em
Well, she stole all the light front the room
G C Em
I was the better friend, I was one of the few
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G
And they all caught up to you
F#m G
Tore up the pavement, like I knew they would
F#m G
And this is entirely half true
F#m G
I’m gonna bleed out the colors, so I don’t hurt you
[Chorus]
G C Em C
You can’t blame a kid any more than a dog
G C Bb A7
Any move that she made was the natural call
G C Em C
Though I wish I could claim I was above it all
G C Bb A7
I was there the whole time, I just watched
G C Em C
If I was let in, maybe I’d take the fall
G C Bb A7
And the world would be strange to behold from this hole
G C Em C
But I was scared and ashamed and I ran from the frame
G C Bb A7
As I still do today, as I still do today
[Tag]
Eb/Bb D/A
I cannot blame, I cannot blame
Eb/Bb D/A
I cannot blame, I cannot blame
Eb/Bb D/A
I cannot, I cannot,
Eb/Bb D7/A
I cannot, I
[Outro]
G C Em
Can’t blame a kid anymore (x4)
