When there's things to do not because you gotta

When you run for love not because you oughtta
           A                          D
When you trust your friends with no reason not to

When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it
           A                          D
When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it
              A                 D
When the teenage car gets the cop down on it
    A                 E
The time is here for one more year
             Bm                    D

And if you wait until your older
       A                          E
A sad resentment will smoulder one day
               Bm                     D

When even fourth grade starts looking good

Which you hated,
     A                         D
And first grade's looking good too,

Overrated,
        A                          D
And you boys long for some little girl

That you dated
       A                          E
Do you long for her of for the way you were,

When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it
            A                               E
Some things were good before and some things never were

When your friends are in town and they've got time for you
               D                        D
You were never hanging around and they didn't ignore you
         A                          D
You can say what you will and they still adore you

Memory comes taunting

You can pick these things apart they're not that appealing
       A                                      E
But you put them together and you'll get this certain feeling
