I remember the evenin' you said 
you were leavin'
G                            Bb

I won't tell my parents

How I fucked up perfection

Gone and it's what I deserve

When my friends hear the rumours

When I'm all by myself and

the drink doesn't help
         G
Take 'em down from the shelf

And I'm reminded I keep
