F    G     F         G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                          F
Don't believe everything happiness says
C                          F
Nothing feels better than hiding these days
     C        F             C              F
We bury our fears in the drinks, in these tears
Am                  G              F                  G
For the days we believed we could fly
 
C                            F
Call up your brothers and sisters and friends
          C                           F
We'll go back to the place where the night never ends
         C           F           C          F
We'll remember the fires, the burning car tires
    Am          G                F             G
Boy how in the hell did we get here?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    C                      F
So why don't you meet me, down behind the old school
        C                            Am       G
We'll waste away the weekend, with perfect regard for how
C                                F
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity
       C
The apathy's surrounding me
Am                G              F   C   F
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                  F
Over and over and over again
        C                      F
We sat down for a minute, grew up into men
             C          F           C          F
Now we're putting out fires and changing car tires
     Am      G               F          G
Man how in hell did we get here?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    C                      F
So why don't you meet me, down behind the old school
        C                            Am       G
We'll waste away the weekend, with perfect regard for how
C                                F
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity
       C
The apathy's surrounding me
Am                G             Dm             G
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade away this time
 
And we'll never get back what we
Dm                   G                          G
Gave away, when we still have that fire in our eyes
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                           F
Don't believe everything happiness says
C                        F
Nothings as real as our old reckless ways
          C            F
When we drink by the fires
       C          F
The burning car tires
      C              F
Bad girls and good liars
       C           F
The dreams we'd conspire
     Am            G
The days we went crazy
      C              F
The nights wild and hazy
    Am          G                F           G
Man how in the hell did we get here?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    C                      F
So why don't you meet me, down behind the old school
        C                            Am       G
We'll waste away the weekend, with perfect regard for how
C                                F
Cavalier we used to be, that beautiful insanity
       C
The apathy's surrounding me
Am                G              C
Don't close your eyes or we'll fade...
                          F

It's "down behind our old school." not "down behind the old school."
