Well I [G] suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking

Verse 3:
Remember them [G] basement parties, Your brother's karate
The [A] all day rock and roll [D] shows

You wear it [A] well
A [Em] little out of [D] time but [G] I don't [A] mind [A]
|Chorus:
|But I ain't for-[G]getting that you were once [D] mine

I'm gonna write about the [G] birthday gown that I bought in town
When you [A] sat down and cried on the [D] stairs
