| E | A | |
| when I was young I knew | everything |

| E | A | |

| C#m | B | A | |
| stop a baby's breath | and a | shoe full of rice (no) |
| :chorus: |
| C#m | B | A | |
| I can't be held responsible |
| C#m | B | A | |
| 'cause | she was touching her face |
| C#m | B | A | |
| I | won't be held responsible |
| C#m | B | A | |
| she fell in | love in the first place |

| for the life of me, | I cannot remember |
| C#m | B | A | E | |
| what made us think that | we were | wise and we didn't compro- | mise |

| for the life of me, | I cannot believe |
| C#m | B | A | |
| we'd | ever die for the | se | sins we were merely freshmen |

| my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her |
| his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept |
| and now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor |
| thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says... |

| :verse3: |
| we've tried to wash our hands of all of this |
| we never talk of our lacking relationships |
| and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor |
| we fell through the ice, when we tried not to slip, we'd say it... |

------------------------
| There are some nice little hammer-off/on things going on |
| with the A chord especially (Asus2, Asus4) that you can tinker |
| with, but hopefully this will help get people started. |
| Hint: In this phrasing... |
| E | A | |
| when I was young I knew | everything |
| I think it sounds real nice if you play a quick B chord |
| over the word "knew", so it's like: |
| E | B | A | |
| when I was young I | knew | everything |
| You may or may not choose do to so but I thought it added a |
| little snap. I "smell" that B in there somewhere, especially |
| if you play the B without the high "e" string fingered, but open. |
| 'course I'm doing this on an acoustic and trying to eek out a little |
| extra "magic". |
