Intro (x2): Eb Ab Bb

Verse 1:
Eb
There's a low-hanging sun
 Ab           Bb
I think we're running a red
 Eb                                     Ab
I hate the thought I could've died with you
             Bb
Thinking I'd put this to bed
   Eb
My mum says it's bad for my health
  Ab          Bb
I haven't forgiven you yet
    Eb
But God, I'm bitter in the blood
    Ab                Bb
So I will be when I'm dead

Chorus:
        Eb                Ab
You took time that wasn't yours to
              Bb
Engineered an enemy
                  Ab
From someone who adored you
       Eb              Ab
You had time enough to halt this
                    Bb
Despite the years between us
                        Ab
You were mine enough to call it
                Cm
Call it what it was
            Bb       Ab
It was teenage love
                Cm
Call it what it was
            Bb       Ab
It was teenage love

If only for one of us

Interlude: Eb Ab Bb

Verse 2:
Eb
Lisa asked down the phone
       Ab         Bb
If your heart was really as bad
       Eb
As the doctor was telling you then
   Ab          Bb
Or if you even lied about that
 Eb
I hated to say you were honest
Ab           Bb
And let some light through the cracks
 Eb
I'll never know what was real
    Ab           Bb
And you'll never need to look back

Pre-chorus:
      Fm
It's fitting I guess, I didn't know it existed
    Ab
The thing in your chest I always thought you were missing
   Ab    Bb
Is gonna take us both down

Chorus:
        Eb                Ab
You took time that wasn't yours to
              Bb
Engineered an enemy
                  Ab
From someone who adored you
       Eb              Ab
You had time enough to halt this
                    Bb
Despite the years between us
                        Ab
You were mine enough to call it
                Cm
Call it what it was
            Bb       Ab
It was teenage love
                Cm
Call it what it was
            Bb       Ab
It was teenage love...

Outro:
          Eb
I used to kiss your head and call you soft
        Bb
Now you kiss my friends in the Gellions loft
           Ab
You said I dish out shame like it gets me off
                Bb
And they'll forget my name when the lights go on
          Eb
I used to wanna live slow by the riverbed
      Bb
Now I drink to get calm and to un-forget
           Ab
I tried to miss you, man, but it messes my head
          Bb
Trying to marry your face with the things you said
            Eb
I hate that I'll get old before you know your crime
         Bb
And then all I've got is to make them rhyme
            Ab
I hate your stupid bar and your hairline
              Bb
Hate that you had me before I was even mine
           Eb
I hate you close to home and far away
        Bb
In that empty new place where you tax evade
           Ab
I hate the taxi rank and the drugs you take
            Bb
I hate that everyone knows and they'll never say
