Sometimes I get down with guilt

For the promises I've broken to my younger self

Moving on, maybe I never will
         Am                            Em
'Cause I left you spinning on the carousel

D                       C
Sometimes I just wanna run away
        Am                        Em
Leave behind that old me, start again
             D                     C
Then I'll remember who I'm really made of
                Am                            Em
And she's been hide-and-seeking, waiting all alone

Teach me the words I used to know
            D            Em
Yeah, I forgot 'em long ago

Am             D
Close to your heart

Never ever let her go (Never let you go)
C                   D                         B
They'll tell you to sit up, and shut up, and grow up
                       Em
What the hell do they know?
            G            D             Em
