[Verse]
D5 Gadd9
You got the wind knocked right out of you when you lost
Dmaj7/F# Em11
The first one that meant the world to you
D5 Gadd9
You were too young to figure it out, too old to break down
Dmaj7/F# Em11
When the first weight was laid upon your back
D5 Gadd9
But a sliver of starlight, it lived in your dark eyes
Dmaj7/F# Em11
Brighter the darker the night
D5 Gadd9
And you rolled all the windows down, you flew through the Jersey town
Dmaj7/F# Em11
Your dark hair was blowing all around
[Pre-Chorus]
Aadd4 Gadd9
Doing eighty on 80 to Roosevelt Stadium
Aadd4 Gadd9
Nosebleeds, kick drums, heartbeats, anthems
Aadd4 Bm7 Aadd4 Gadd9
Of your stolen, golden youth
Aadd4 Bm7 Aadd4 Gadd9
Of your lonely, lonely. truth
Aadd4 Bm7 Aadd4 Em11
But the light you leave behind
Gadd9 Aadd4
It’s burning across the sky
[Verse]
D5 Gadd9
Your father never knew you as a father, but he left you
Dmaj7/F# Em11
The burden of a body and some dark, dark eyes
D5 Gadd9
And you were too young to bear it, too old for hysterics
Dmaj7/F# Em11
So you climbed out the window down to the rock & roll show
[Pre-Chorus]
