[Verse]
Cadd9                                     D
Do you remember when everything was great?
Em                               D
Smoking cigarettes and huffing on old paint
Cadd9                                     D
Just you and me, no, we didn't give a fuck
Em                              D
Hand in hand, losing our senses
Cadd9                                                D
I miss the days when we'd stay up all night and drink
Em                                             D
Do lines of ketamine and throw up in your sink
Cadd9                             D
I never cared about anyone but you
Em                 D
Go ahead and laugh


[Chorus]
Cadd9
Here we are again
D           Em
Those were good times remember went
D        Cadd9
Why'd it have to end?
D
It was our perfect oblivion


[Verse]
Cadd9                                 D
Do you remember when we tried heroin?
Em                                     D
Nearly overdosed us straight to Heaven
Cadd9                                    D
At least we'd be together, never be apart
Em                                 D
Hand in hand, losing our innocence
Cadd9                                           D
Do you remember when we stole your father's car?
Em                                          D
Fucked in the backseat of his Ford Windstar
Cadd9                                   D
Threw my life away but I have no regrets
Em
Did it all for you


[Chorus]
Cadd9
Here we are again
D           Em
Those were good times remember went
D        Cadd9
Why'd it have to end?
D
It was our perfect oblivion


[Verse]
(single strum)
Cadd9                                       D
Do you remember when I first took your hand?

Selling weed out of a stranger's small van
Em
Now I know how to be in love
D
I learned from you
                  Cadd9
You're in my head again
   D
So often


[Chorus]
Cadd9
Here we are again
D           Em
Those were good times remember went
D         Cadd9
Why'd it have to end?
D         Em
It was our perfect oblivion
                 D  Cadd9
Here we are again
Em                   D Cadd9
Why'd it have to end?
