Suburban Legends Chords

[Verse 1]
C                   Am                     F
 You had people who called you on unmarked numbers
 
In my peripheral vision
C                      Am                         F
 I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer
 
All was quickly forgiven
C               Am                    F
 You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious
                           C
Flush with the currency of cool
                     Am           F
I was always turnin' out my empty pockets
    G
And when it came to you
 
 
[Chorus]
C        Am
I didn't come here to make friends
        F          G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C           Am
When you hold me, it holds me together
        F                             G
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                       Am                   F
 I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs
 
Would surprise the whole school
C                Am                  F
 When I ended up back at our class reunion
 
Walkin' in with you
C                     Am                F
 You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries
 
With the pages ripped out
C                   Am       F
 I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium
    G
And I can still see you now
 
 
[Chorus]
C        Am
I didn't come here to make friends
        F          G
We were born to be suburban legends
         C           Am
When you hold me, it holds me together
        F                             G
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
C           Am
I know that you still remember
        F          G
We were born to be national treasures
         C            Am
When you told me we'd get back together
        F                               G
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
 
 
[Outro]
C                 Am                      F
 Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block
                                                   C
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
                   Am                   F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door
                                            C
You don't knock anymore and my whole life's ruined
                 Am                      F
Tick-tock on the clock, I pace down your block
                                                   C
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
                   Am                   F
Waves crash on the shore, I dash to the door
                   G                 C       Am F
You don't knock anymore and I always knew it
G                      C Am F G  C
 That my life would be ruined
