Verve Pipe - The Freshman

D G Bm A G

verse 1 :
D G
when i was young i knew everything
Bm A G
and she a punk who rarely ever took advice
D G
now i’m guilt stricken sobbing with my head on the floor
Bm A G
stop a baby’s breath and a shoe full of rice ( no )

prechorus :
Bm A G
i can’t be held responsible
Bm A G
’cause she was touching her face
Bm A G
i won’t be held responsible
Bm A G
she fell in love in the first place

chorus :
D G
for the life of me , i cannot remember
Bm A G D
what made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise
G
for the life of me , i cannot believe
Bm A G
we’d ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

D G Bm A G

verse 2 :
D G
my best friend took a week’s vacation to forget her
Bm A G
his girl took a week’s worth of valium and slept
D G
and now he’s guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
Bm A G
thinks about her now and how he never really wept , he says . . .

verse 3 :
D G
we’ve tried to wash our hands of all of this
Bm A G
we never talk of our lacking relationships
