Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][Am][F]
[C][F][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]When I was young I knew everyt[F]hing
And [Am]she a punk who rarely ever t[F]ook advice
Now I'm [C]guilt stricken
Sobbing with my [F]head on the floor
[Am]Stop a baby's breath
and a [F]shoe full of rice, no

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]Can'[G]t be[F] held responsible
[Am]'Cau[G]se she was[F] touching her face
[Am]I wo[G]n't be[F] held responsible
[Am]She [G]fell in love in [F]the first place

[Chorus 1]
[C]For the life of me
[F]I cannot remember
[Am]What made us think that we were wise[F] and
We'd never compro[C]mise
For the life of [F]me I cannot believe
We'd [Am]ever die for these sins
[F]We were merely freshmen

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][Am][F]

[Verse 2]
My best [C]friend took a week's va[F]cation
to forget her
His [Am]girl took a week's worth a [F]Valium
and slept
And now he's [C]guilt stricken
sobbing with his [F]head on the floor
[Am]Think's about her now
and how he [F]never really wept, he says

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]Can'[G]t be[F] held responsible
[Am]'Cau[G]se she was[F] touching her face
[Am]I wo[G]n't be[F] held responsible
[Am]She [G]fell in love in [F]the first place

[Chorus 2]
[C]For the life of me
[F]I cannot remember
[Am]What made us think that we were wise[F] and
We'd never compro[C]mise
For the life of [F]me I cannot believe
We'd [Am]ever die for these sins
[F]We were merely freshmen

[Interlude 2]
[Em]Hey,[F] yea[C]h[G]
[Em]Hey,[F] yea[C]h[G]
[Em]Hey,[F] yea[C]h[G]
[Em][F][C][G][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]We've tried to wash our hands of all[F] of this
We never [Am]talk of our lacking re[F]lationships
And how we're [C]guilt stricken sobbing
with our [F]heads on the floor
We [Am]fell through the ice
when we [F]tried not to slip, we'd say

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Am]Can'[G]t be[F] held responsible
[Am]'Cau[G]se she was[F] touching her face
[Am]And [G]I won't be[F] held responsible
[Am]She [G]fell in love in [F]the first place

[Chorus 3]
[C]For the life of me
[F]I cannot remember
[Am]What made us think that we were wise[F] and
We'd never compro[C]mise
For the life of [F]me I cannot believe
We'd [Am]ever die for these sins
[F]We were merely freshmen

[Chorus 4]
[C]For the life of me
[F]I cannot remember
[Am]What made us think that we were wise[F] and
We'd never compro[C]mise
For the life of [F]me I cannot believe
We'd [Am]ever die [G]for these sins
[F]We were merely freshmen
[C]We [F]were merely freshmen
[Am]We w[F]ere only freshmen
[C][F][Am][F]
