Dm                Am
When I hear your name
Dm                       Am
I go soaring right back to that place
Dm
Red Lips, Basement, Bedroom
Am
Insense, and your perfume
Dm                    Am
Was the final time I saw your face...


intro riff again

Dm               Am
Monday at school
Dm                        Am
"OH MY GOD! Did you hear who just died?"
Dm                       Am
I covered up my ears and I couldn't bear to hear them laugh
Dm                           Am
About a shot that rang out through the night

Dm    Am          Dm
Hold on....
Dm    Am
Hold on....
Am
And on and on

C          G           Am                              C
There's a place where you and I looked in eachother's eyes
      G                 Am
And swore that we'd be free some day
     C             G        Am                           C
So please tell me why you sacrificed all that you would be
     G             Am
We hadn't much to wait....

C   G    Am
C   G    Am


intro riff

Dm            Am
A photograph
Dm                    Am
Is the only piece of you I have
Dm
In that Hula Skirt you
Am
Smiled Yet none of us knew
Dm                       Am
How much pain there was behind your smile


Dm    Am          Dm
Hold on....
Dm    Am
Hold on....
Am
And on and on

C          G           Am                              C
There's a place where you and I looked in eachother's eyes
      G               Am
And promised we'd be free some day
     C             G        Am                           C
So please tell me why you sacrificed all that you would be
     G               Am
You threw away your dreams
       C          G        Am                           C
Only heaven know why you sacrificed all that you could be
      G             Am
You threw away our dreams

C        G       Am
So much life to live
C        G       Am
So much love to give
