Verse 1

Then the rains they came, from thick unbroken clouds

And washed out all the names, from tired little towns

Yeah summer's gone away, to some California coast

Hey I don't mind I never saw around much anyway

But I cannot be still, it's coursing through my veins

The songs that never live, the songs that stayed the same

And they turned around the truth, and they knocked you off your feet

Yeah the world was on your back and you wouldn't carry that weight

Chorus

Play these notes on the low E & A strings, it's a typical Ian walkup in G.

"captured their hearts"

Oh and Caroline you should

Have captured their hearts while you still could

But you threw it away, did you really think that you'd live forever?

Caroline

Verse 3

And one by one they fell, barely clinging to their names

Technology overflowing, flowing from their brains

Till nobody knew the words, nobody knew to sing

Nobody had the time to talk about it anyway

Chorus

Oh and Caroline you should

Have captured their hearts while you still could

But you threw it away, did you really think that you'd live forever?

Caroline

Bridge

Play these bass notes on the low E & A strings to walk into the bridge, similar to the chorus:

Yeah they all just sold

Yeah they all just sold you down the line

And you're looking for forgiveness every time you shut your eyes

Oh but you're faded and old did they never tell you

Instrumental

Can't remember this off the top of my head, maybe

Oh, oh, oh,oh, yeah

Chorus

Oh and Caroline you should

Have captured their hearts while you still could

But you threw it away, did you really think that you'd live forever?

Caroline

You should just throw it away

Do you really think that you'll live forever

Outro just alternates between G & C
