Bridge:
Em         C  Lollipop dreams and
          Gcandycane waves
                    DAre gonna hurt like hell
                   Emwhen they crumble away
                    CBecause a beautiful youth
                    Ghurts worst when it dies
           DA rotten reminder of the
          Cdays we decided we'd rather
                     Emgo big and then rot away
               DWe'd give into love
                 Cand wind up castaways
We said "fuck all the old
                     Emboring shits we've become"
                  DSo we hoarded our dreams
                   Cand we burnt every one
    D             EmAnd fuck me man I knew
             Cnot what I'd done
D              EmFuck us man we knew
              Cnot what we'd done
Em             DFuck us man we knew
