    G                      C
well I wrote your name and burned it,
     G                       D
to see the color of the flame,
Am                           C
and it burned out the whole spectrum,
       G                  Em
as if you were everything,
Am                     C
mine just burned gold, a normal flame,

G     Em            G                C       G                         D
I am, not anything, and all that I remember is the feeling of waking up,
Am                               C                G                   Em
when we were kids, you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust,
Am                          C                         G
when we were kids, i was a fountain, you could never drink enough,

  G                               C                            G         D
then came all the boys who swept you up, playing careless with your heart
  Am                    C                    G                 Em
and every night there was a new girl, sitting beside me in my car,
   Am                          C             G                 C
something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can,
Am            C                     G
I am glad, I am glad, you found a good man
