Gradeschool Crushers

[Intro ]
D A Bm G (x2) 


 
D         A             D              A 
Birthday cake and the smell of autumn air 
D           A               D       A 
Midnight games and your beautiful stare 
           D     A             D       A 
We had a hiding spot we were dying to keep 
D                  A 
Truth: I was too innocent 
D         Bm      A 
Dare: be mine to keep 
 

 
D                   A 
Asked if you could kiss me 
         D          A 
I said only on the hand 
            D             A 
Spent the rest of those years 
             D       A 
Wishin' I'd let you then 
          G                  D 
Always wondered if you loved me 
            Bm    A 
'Cause you never said 
D                     A 
Truth: I'm still so sorry 
        Bm                A 
Dare: please come back to me 
 

 
                     D 
'Cause we went from very best friends 
     Bm                       D           A 
To kisses on hands but that ain't how it ends 
            D 
Stealin' pencils in class 
          Bm                           D      A 
All the notes that we'd pass get in trouble again 
         Bm    D      A 
It was always you and me 
          Bm          D        G     A 
'Til one day you woke up and outgrew me 
        D 
Do you ever look back and regret me? 
 

 
D            A           D                A 
Some years later same friends different place 
D                 A 
Grew up a little bit 
               D              A 
Learned our feelings still remained 
D                       A              D        A 
Going drink for drink yellin' "Jack Daniels or Bust" 
D                    A 
Truth: ya walked me home 
       Bm          A 
Dare: didn't need one 
 

 
                  D 
And we went from old-time friends 
     Bm                       D         A 
To kissin' in the end 'til I made ya pretend 
                  D 
Your hands were never in my hair 
      Bm 
As if we were never there 
             D 
And finally more than friends 
         Bm    D      A 
It was always you and me 
            Bm         D                    A 
'Til I was cruel and stole your opportunity 
        D 
Do you ever look back and regret me 


D  A  Bm  G 
 

 
          D                           A     Bm 
Ya hear about high school lovers but what about 
D                               Bm      A 
Gradeschool crushers who don't make it out 
          G        D             Bm    A 
They grow up together but inevitably apart 
        G         D             G         A 
'Cause 18's too young to understand the heart 
 

 
                      D 
And how we went from old-time friends 
     Bm                     D       A 
To lovers and now we're strangers again 
               D         Bm             D    A 
Did you ever forgive me find your happy ending 
         Bm    D      A 
It was always you and me 
        Bm    D              A 
But we just weren't meant to be 
         D 
Do you ever look back and regret me
