G5addE
I grew up beneath the trees

    D9/F#    
Not far from the refineries

      Em                Em7 (you can hammer-on a C on 2nd string per taste)
Aimed at the sky like a smoking gun

  Am                 C          D     G5addE  D9/F#   
I learned to walk, I learned to run away


In tracing back our history
It's a wonder how we came to be
A love driven through a dozen states
With your technique for keeping me awake

The day we met is still a blur
Though I remember just how nice you were
And what you wore in Central Park
And how you left before the darkness fell

(Chorus)
      C  D           G
Now I cry over these strings

     Am          D       Em
This sentimental case of things

           Am               C
Though I'm better with each passing day

  Am                  C        D     G5addE  D9/F#
I guess you'll be the one that got away


'Cause everyone has one of those
You wear them like you wear your clothes
Except they don't come off at night
They are the space you hold up to the light

And somewhere along the line
You'll turn into a friend of mine
Who knows of my unspoken cares
Amid the aftermath of love affairs

(Chorus)

Now I stand beneath the trees
Not far from the refineries
Aimed at the sky like a smoking gun
I'll learn to walk, I'll learn to run again
