[Verse 1]
G
It was the summer before our senior year
Bm
I was packing up my life in an Econoline
Em
While she was trying dresses on and playing house
A
Standing in the drive to watch me backing out
G
I got home before September starts to catch a chill
Bm
We sat and talked about how much we both have changed
Em
I've been a bad boy, too late to go back then
A
Maybe someday we can end up as friends
G
And theres so many things I can't believe,
Bm
well I can't believe
EmA
we were seventeen, we were seventeen
G
And now I'm lost at the drive I'm lost in the car
Bm
Guess when you lose someone you find out who you are
EmA
Now I'm rolled up, broken in and moving along, I'm moving along
[Chorus]
GBm
But all I got left, is coffee and cigarettes
EmA
Mixtapes on old cassettes, and a picture that you put in a letter
G
You were the best
BmEm
The best that I ever had, baby you got me bad
A
You always said that you would wait forever
GBm
And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
EmA
You're gone
[Verse 2]
G
I heard she met someone in college, looks a bit like me
BmEm
Moved back to Boston for her law degree, while I was stamping postcards, a summer song
A
I think about her when the television's on
G
I went back for the reunion and we reminicsed
Bm
She had on sensible shoes and said
Em
"It's good to see you're still the guy I used to know"
A
And then a breath, and a sideways hug that I could not forget
G
And theres so many things I can't believe,
Bm
well I can't believe
EmA
we were seventeen, we were seventeen
G
And now I'm lost at the motel, I'm lost in the bar
Bm
And looking back at, And looking back at her is still the hardest part
EmA
Gotta let go, let go, start moving along, moving along
[Chorus]
GBm
But all I got left, is coffee and cigarettes
EmA
Mixtapes on old cassettes, and a picture that you put in a letter
G
You were the best
BmEm
The best that I ever had, baby you got me bad
A
You always said that you would wait forever
GBm
And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
EmA
You're gone
GBm
And now you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
EmA
You're gone
GBm
And all I got left, is coffee and cigarettes
EmA
